i just installed UMI lower control arms and a panhard bar and them ****s squeek!! i didnt have a grease gun lastnight so i drove to my friends to grease them summabitches up. turns out now they squeek more after i lubed em up them before.. is that normal? or did i destroy them by driving on them for a bit?

I have the same ones. I put synthetic grease on the sides of the bushings before I installed them, then used synthetic grease in the grease fitting and no squeaks...

did you use regular grease? you need a special synthetic grease for the poly bushings

You definetly need special grease for polyeurethane. It's white and gets all over the place LOL. Do not use regular wheel bearing or ball joint grease.

Aw F***, I did that, i guess i gotta take all the grease outta the damn bushing now. I used the prelube that they come with, but packed them with regular grease. where do i find this special synthetic poly grease at? man i could kick myself in the head, thats y my panhard squeeks, that god my LCA's dont hav grease fittings
