Default No more grease needed!!!

For the people who are using polyurethane bushings on their swaybars and don't want to regrease them every couple of months to prevent squeaking then buy some PTFE tape (Teflon tape).

I just wrapped some around the sway bar where the bushing would touch the bar. I drove about 100 miles on it so far and no squeaking . You should be able to find some in your local hardware store.

yes but teflon tape isnt strong at all. i think it will wear out soon or it will tear. i think if you use the thick teflon tape( im pretty sure its yellow not white) you should be good but the regular thin stuff isnt very strong

My teflon tape lasted 8 months or so, and now the rear bar bushings squeek. And I know its the bar to chassis bushings, as I have sphericals for endlinks.

I'll probably rewrap it, but its not exactly that high on my list of things to fix.
