Anyone know of new/better and possibly greaseable IFS bushings? At 50k mine are cracked and grown over bumps.

Could just be your sway bar bushings. Mine are noisy as hell in the cold over bumps.

I'm hoping thats the case, if not, I might take it in to the dealer to have it checked out before I reach the end of my warranty...

Thanks for the tip.

I mean the A-arm bushing (the ones that isolate the A-arm from the chassis). Mine are cracked, and make noise, so I was hoping someone had found a good replacement.
