Front end squeak/rubbing, bushings? 200 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be Manolo on  Wed Jan 29 03:09 CST 2003 [RELATED]

My '91 squeeks all winter long (rainy season).

Most noticable when I run over washboard bumps approaching a stop sign (bushings are loaded by braking action).

Spraying the rubber bushings where the control arm braces bolt to the body at the base of the firewall with silicon spray quiets it for a while. I'm sure the petroleum oil carrier used in the silicon spray shortens the bushing life, I'm sure, but they still look good after 12 years, so it cannot be hurting them too much.
