umi front lower control arms creaky?...
just picked up umi front lower control arms with the poly/rod combo. had to literally cut the old arms off to install. greased em up right etc. after about 4 days of driving all of a sudden they are creaking like mad over even the littlest bumps. checked it on my buddies alignment rack yesterday and it seems to be the poly bushings creaking. anyone else have this problem? just wondering if im gonna have to live with it. my rear founders poly/rod arms dont creak...

What grease are you using? Poly needs a synthetic grease. I use Mobil 1 synthetic. Or use super lube(umi carries it)

These are the only 2 that works well with umi bushings. And non synthetic will also break down the bushings.
