Hi reading on forums around the place i found this interesting idea about the red bugpack urethane mounts i am planning to mount or the irs rear trailing arms.
"Use a small bit on a die grinder. Go to the center of the bushing, and cut a ring all the way around the inside. Cut 2 or 3 slots --- towards the inside. As you grease the front end, grease will be forced into the ring area. No more squeeks."
"warm a bowl of water up in the microwave for about min 15. toss the bushings in for a few minutes. this will make it easier to install and once it cools it forms to the beam or whatever its being installed into easier and gets rid of the squeek."
"Grease containing molydisulphide is the thing to use. Castrol LMM is one."
Does this sound like anything others have done... I have bought some threaded 10x1.5 rod stock to help me pull the cap back in... and then i will install the standard bolts. I'm thinking i will bolt it in place without the torsion bar to start with, and ensure the trailing arm does not bind... might have to trim to fit... have seen others do this before.
Cheers guys
(if you have had success with a particular grease please let me know)
