Hi,

maybe some new bushings squeak, maybe some do not (for one data point
mine experience is no squeaking with new). My point in an earlier
post is that if your van has a lot of miles on it (and most do now),
and you haven't changed the bushings, and they are now squeaking then
maybe replacing them is better than looking for anti-squeak solutions?

bushings squeak just the same. Perhaps the geometry involved puts
stresses
on teh bushings that naturally make it squeak?
