Thread: squeaky bushings on progress rear bar

You can use white silicone grease for brake slide pins. Basically the same stuff as ES and Prothane grease. Easier to find and cheaper.
We have a big ass Nissan can of white silicone grease and work and use that whenever I do poly bushings on anything.

It was for the rear bar like the OP. Yes, it's installed correctly. I noticed the noise before the bar was installed, but went away for awhile after I sprayed the wd. Now it's bad so I'm assuming that bushing needs to be replace. But upon searching, that one seems impossible to replace since I believe oem doesn't sell it as jus the bushing.

Is the white Nissan spray Lithium grease or Silicon...my nissan silicon spray is more clear than white...just wondering.

New bar installed, did new bushings go with the new bar? If so, why would the noise come along with new parts? I am trying to understand what exactly happened in a step-by-step stage but I am not getting the full picture I do not believe.

If you want new bushings, I would try Addco for d-shape bushings that connect the sway-bar to the body that do not require any lubricating at all. No mess, no fuss.

i used teflon tape on the bar, then covered in the grease on my whiteline bar. no squeeks

comre to think of it I had a car that had teflon tape there too and was thinking ...WTF???> now I am thinking of trying it myself

Kyle, Thats rascist. lol. Yay for Addco.

I've always do this, especially for the inner D-shaped bushings which make more of the noise in my experience.

It is definately the inners squeaking.I will try the teflon tape trick and see what happens.

Not the spray. It comes in a big can with a screw-on lid.
