What the product does is rejuvenates the crack rubber and it simply stops the squeaks. You can get this product from AutoZone and its from ATP called AT-205.

My mechanic put on white grease on my rear upper control arms cause they were causing my rear squeak, but it's starting to come back slowly.. I might try this.

Ya, if your bushing is about to break by all means change it. But if you just got the squeaks then this is worth trying.

Let us know how it worked out for ya. Put it in a spray bottle and spray just the bushings. Do not spray on the axles, brake lines, steering rack and such, only the bushings related.

maybe try one area at a time to know where the noise is coming from and to keep an eye on.
