This problem is common with the poly bushings. The general rule is to lube the bushings up liberally before installing them then just relubing them every 6mo. or as needed. The brand that has been shown to give good results is the Wurth's HHS2000. It is water resistant and does not attract dirt and grime to get in between the bushings so you dont have that crunching sound when the squeaking sound disappears.
I know exactly what you mean. My Ingalls kit used to squeal like a pig in heat. To fix it, you need to get yourself some of that thick lubricant that comes with poly bushings. Disassemble the bushings and dunk them in the grease, reassemble and re-install. I know it's a pain the butt but it will work and it will last. I did this to my bushings almost a year ago and everything is still golden.
Ok, so over the weekend I took apart the Ingalls (took me about an hour to take off and install again)
Lubed them with a thick silicone grease I found at Pep Boys, and It seems to be working ...
However I dont knbow how long this will last, so I would like to know where to find this Wurth's HHS2000, graphite grease, or wht kind of bushing grease did you use.. and wher did you guys bought it from...
Thanka lot for all the replies...

I believe that the Wurth's HHS2000 comes in a spray that way all you would have to do is get under there and spray the bushings instead of having to take them out every time they begin to make noise again. I appologize, but I am not quite sure where to get it, but I would start by givin Home Depot a call, and I'm sure if they dont have it, they could direct you to someone that does.

The problem with the spray stuff is that it's topical and doesn't get into the centre of the bushing where the metal sleeve is. This might work for a short period of time but if you're looking for a long term solution a proper R&R is what's needed.
BTW, you can pick up some of the grease goop at a boat supply house; just ask for marine grade grease. It's the same stuff that comes with the ES & Prothane bushings.

yeah, just make sure you use that lube very generously and it should keep the squeeks at a minimum..... also make sure to get an alignment after installing your camber kit cuz your toe and stuff most likely will get messed up
