Yeah, it says to add the grease to them before install. Just wondering what it is that is actually making the creaking sounds. I'd really like to pinpoint what it is and get it nipped in the bud.

Sway's I bet.

Wonder what would happen if I went back to the original end links. Going to try that out tomorrow and see what happens.

Merc · 04-02-2011, 10:20 PM

Bend them on the road coarse for sure.

Cradle inserts should not be greased.....

Any other bushing you swapped should be greased like there is no tomorrow.

Merc · 04-02-2011, 10:32 PM

BMR supplied a grease with there inserts. Just saying.

Instructions say to grease them.

I'm going to have to send Pete a PM.

I already was down this road with Pete, despite the fact the instructions say to grease them...Pete told me to disregard the grease.

*TAG UR IT* · 04-02-2011, 11:04 PM

Well damn, man...

I just sent him a PM. We'll see what he says... *big sigh*

I really don't want to have to take the rear cradle down completely once again. But, if it takes all squeaking and creaking out, I suppose I'll get'er done.

Don't buy any, I have them in my shop... dammit... Got so excited about delivering it I forgot to put them in... I'll prep some of the screws and washers and we can sneak them in in a few minutes...

Hell yeah! SWEET!

Question.

Can you see on the left side where the light is a tiny bit darker towards the bottom? Looks like there is a spacer in there. Is that what it is? I only saw it for a sec as I wired it up tonight...was a little darker there. Not a bid deal at all, but was curious.
