| Post subject: | Front end creaking noise |
Anybody get any creaking noise when going over a curb like at the end of a driveway? Mine has a loud creak just when I go over the end of my driveway maybe I need new shocks up front. Any suggestions? |

When the temp is below about 50 my front swaybar bushings creak over speedbumps and such. Pretty common in these vehicles. |

Can we put some lubricant on them to quiet them down a bit? |

Some people remove the bar to put silicone spray on the bushings. Here's an idea I may copy. http://www.lostjeeps.com/forum/phpBB3/vie ... hp?t=12494 |

Something else may be squeaking, there are a lot of bushings up front. Anyway, suspension related questions should go in another forum. |

I hope he is not shooting wheels grease into those bushings. Also Silicon spray does not work, you have to use silicone paste. They have to be takens off, cleaned and re-installed with the new silicon grease. |

Took the bushings off cleaned them.. Drilled and tapped for the zerks... Spread synthetic grease in there... Worked for a day... Squirted some more in the zerks... Worked for two days... My next try is going to be the nylon or something like that bushings with the zirks built in... Saw em for like 28 bucks a piece. |
