Kyle, I have actually been doing this for a bit, just had not had a chance to formalize it. Building up bracket inventory and I have them coming in several days.

So I've had these installed for a little over a year now, and they, along with a bit of a toe adjustment, seem to have nearly completely eliminated my inner tire wear issue. So yay for that!
... BUT, I'm having another problem with them that has started within the last few months and seems to be getting slightly worse. I started noticing some squeaking in my front suspension when going over bumps and whatnot. It used to happen pretty much just in cold weather, but I'm now noticing it still happens in some warmer weather. After some internet searching, it seems like LCA bushings are a common source of this kind of squeak, which especially makes sense in my case since I've installed these bushings recently.
Has anyone else had this problem? Is there anything I can do about it? Somewhere I can apply some lubrication or something?
Thanks in advance.

PM sent, thanks.
Is this something that needs to be done fairly regularly? Or is it more likely that it just wasn't done properly the first time around? Also, is any harm being done when I hear this noise? Or is it just annoying to listen to? heh

I have left over packets of the product link below for polyurethane bushings from a few years ago and was wondering if these are okay to use with the FIGS bushings?
http://www.energysuspensionparts.com...shing-Lube.asp
I believe all urethane bushings will creak/squeak/moan and will require greasing after awhile, it's just a matter of time...

I often see the energy suspension bushings (sway bar) start to get a little translucent over time and perhaps contribute to the material migrating and breaking down. I have plenty on hand, but you are welcome to use what ever you like. I just know that when it gets on my fingers, its very resistant to water and upon wiping it off its very slick on the skin. The frequency is going to depend on the environment you use it in. Perhaps you did not lubricate them once first installed? They have a pre-lube on them but I always re-lube them again, after all they come with grease.
