    Default ? about ES trailing arm bushes

    ok i have yet to put mine in. my question is will they start making noise/ squeak after a bit? my ES sway bar bushes started to squeak after not even 1000 miles. and theres like no way to take apart and re-grease the trailing arm ones.

    thanks - jon

    Yes they'll make noise and extra harshness too. Been there, done that and went back to the stock rubber (at least in the trailing arms).

    Poly is fine for the lateral arms but don't use it for the longitudinal (trailing) arms. Of course, this is my informed decision. Others here may not notice the extra NVH or don't care about it.

    brad, so u think its not much of an issue to use poly on the 2 control arms( the thick and thin rear ones). and dont do it for the trailing arm?
