The squeaks of (almost) summer - Round 2

My RK 3-link dosent squeak, and my X-Factor didn't.

Could the squeak be in your shocks?

Thanks for the idea, but no, it is for sure the bushings on the Pro Comps that squeak. I've done extensive "listening" tests, and ever time it has been those. If I can get enough grease into the bushing area, it goes away.

I'm sort of leaning towards the AEV drop bracket idea from Northridge4x4 because it is so dang cheap. I have continued to read that the OEM bushings are as good as any you'll find (for a similarly designed solution.) I already have lots of other upgrades planned this year that I'd rather not drop another grand just to get rid of squeaks as I'd prefer that money go into something else.

Problem 1/2 solved! Got my Metal Cloak control arms yesterday. Put the rear upper and lowers on today and no more squeaking from the rear! What is even better though is that it drives better and it's quieter (not just the squeaks.) There is less jarring, rattling and knocking, and I only have the rears on. Can't wait to put the fronts on. I'm beyond impressed at these control arms.
