Is there a way of getting rid of the damn squeek coming from my top control arm bushes in my EF?
 Sounds like s**t when I go over speed bumps!If anyone has has success with anything please share. Couple of points to note: They are new (old ones did the same thing). They are greased properly with Nolothane bush grease. I have searched Google (useless) to no avail. Goes away during wet weather. Tends to be on the passanger side more so than the drivers. Cheers

Check your Sway Bar D's. They make a very similar noise.

I would think the grease supplied would be the best?
Needs to be synthetic I know that much, but is this just something I have to live with as if thats the case I will throw rubber in there!

I have had my SuperPro polyurethane bushes for about 8 years ( swapped them from one car to the next, and I bought them new ), and haven't had any noise issues.
My whole car is full of SuperPro bushes.....and no issues.

I've done the complete front end in the TE, all swapped out the superpro, the original ruber ones were cactus and chewed out, I did upper control arms and sway bars first, then had to proceed to do the rest as I was only gonna be chasing one squeek after another. Full superpro set and not a noise, I've had nolathane before, its been hit and miss with squeeks, lithium grease worked well, and its in a spray can!

I think I have a can of that laying around the shed. Messy though. So the bushes in question are fitted to my camber kit (Nolothane) would Superpro do a re-bush kit for a Nolothane part or would they be as a standard kit? I might have a chat to our supplier at work on Monday and see what can be done. Cheers for all the help

Superpro is an alternative to Nolathane.
Just put the nozzle off a can of WD 40 on the litium grease, then spray exactly where you want it. No mess.
