I put wireloom (black split loom like you use on stereo install) around the tops and bottoms of every spring job I do and grease it.


has worked like a charm for years!

How do you know it is the bushing and not the strut itself?

i just sprayed mine with white lithium grease. no more squeeks. definately worth the 3 bux.

just stuch the hose into each end of the camber kit. lowered a little, sprayed more. then dropped the car.... jacked it all the way up again and no more squeeks.

How long did you have the struts before the the squeak?

Did the sqeak just appear, or did you do some other front-end changes or alignment?

Could a squeak come from inside the strut itself?? I have new struts (stock replacements) and I now have a squeak just after an alignment.
