Subject:Re: Seafoam for Squeaks?

On a recent trip, my wife was very irritated with the squeaking upper
control arms on our Syncro, so, while my queen was napping, I
purchased  some WD-40 outside Tombstone, Az (only spray lubricant I
could find so please don't flame me for not using the non-water
displacing ZupaDupaLube) and sprayed a little on the bushing area, on
both sides. They continued to squeak for about 20 miles, then we
didn't hear them again during the remaining 500 miles. It's been
parked since then, so I don't know what their present state of
discontent may be, though I do know that only the proper repairs will
attain permanent results.
Anyway, once free of the squeaks, my queen found ample opportunites to
yell out things like, 'YOU ARE NOT GOING OVER THAT!', in lieu of the
former.........
