Squeaky bushings after offroading..

[Jc12]

So generally with my cars when my bushings are squeaking away I assume I've reached metal on metal and need to replace. But after mudding on the weekend I'm getting squeaks from everywhere.. My trucks is caked in mud, do you think it could be the debris that's rubbing in the bushings, or I just so happened to blow them all out

most likely debris, but depending on age and condition it could be likely you cracked 'em all, but that would be very unlikely, that said, i'd give it a good wash down have a look at the bushings then hit them with some silicone spray for the next few days,weeks possibly to quieten them back down.

all of mine squeaked for about 2 months after i replaced them all until i got some grease worked back in all of the joints and the rubber got broken in a bit.

I read somewhere, that Never Seize is a good product to use on the bushings... and it apparently never wears out.

I'm testing this with my new poly bushings in the front stabilizer brackets...
