If you inspect the new bushing carefully you will see the rubber piece
between the inner and outer sleeves creped and twisted. If only a few
thousand miles and a few months I would send it/them back as defective. Only
way parts suppliers-manufacturers know about problems is to get the
feedback.

        My, Now 5000mi old, OEM Upper ControlArm Bush's started squawking a
While ago & I tried Spraying them,

ToNoAvail, with TriFlo IIRC ~ Then sometime in the last few weeks we had
some HeavyPrecip'Days & the Squawks

stopped but then returned in the DryDays that followed ~ So I figured I'd
try again ~ But this time I used CRC

HeavyDuty SiliconeSpray & it worked ~ Don't ask me why ~
