congrats on 900, you are going to be in 4 digit territory pretty soon!

Wouldn't that just be a dose of Karma... making fun of the Dodge bushings for giving out at 45000km and mine go at half that

don't think you're bushings are going, it's probably the poly bushings holding your sway bar in place that may be squeaking.

Polyurathane does that, sometimes just needs to be greased a bit.

yeah if you put in a new sway bar/bushings without applying grease to the new bushings, it may be the cause of the squeaking. just put some grease on the bushings and see if the noise goes away.

bushings were greased, but i might not of used enough, i guess overkill on those might of been a good idea.

Nick, We will make time to get that done for you. I just have to remember to bring some more grease.

Here's the crappy part about grease and poly bushings, you need to re grease them over time so you probably made sure it didn't squeak by applying some during install which is good. Now a year or so later, the grease has worn off and it squeaks which is bad but to be expected.

Don't you love aftermarket bushings?
