I know this topic has been covered a lot and I have read most of the past posts, but I'm still not sure whether to use the polygraphite bushings (all suspension and subframe bushings) or the stock rubber ones. I would like better performance but don't want ANY squeaking or noise. I've read about the synthetic grease during install and even zerk fittings-but can we guarantee to get NO noise? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks,

Rookobird,
I had to have a lower control arm replaced last summer and did the "while we're already there" thing and had the shop use polygraphite bushings from PST on the whole front suspension.

I read here that using a good grease helps prevent squeaking. I think it was called something like gojo, or juju grease - apparently available at motorcycle shops.

I've had the car back for six months and have never heard a squeak yet. It has stiffened up the handling and feels real sturdy.

I say go for it. graemlins/thumbsup.gif

I put the grease supplied with the energy suspension kit and no noise. I changed every bushing on the car with graphite bushings
