Default Rear arm knuckle bushing question.

I've been through numerous threads about the infamous rear knuckle bushing and the squeaking issues. Had mine looked at today and found that there is no play in the bushing but still getting the mind-numbing mattress squeak. Had it greased which initially almost eliminated the sound but by the time i got home, the squeak was back full force. Should I just track down a new bushing or is there a solution I am not seeing? Thanks for any suggestions.

Mine looked and felt fine when everything was assembled. As soon as i took it apart and especially when i pulled the dust boots you could really see and feel the play they had. Just an fyi my car has 140k..not saying this is the case on every car.

I don't know anyone out there that will do this job for $200. If you can find that, it's a bargain!
