ok so i've had the composite leafs on for a little over a month now. i'm starting to get some super annoying squeaks back there. i think i'm going to tear them off and lube them up. what did ou guys use to lube them? grease? i'm going to lube the bolts and bushings blah blah. anyone else have some squeak problems?

how hard did you tighten yours down? i dont own a torque wrench but can easily aquire one if needed.

or how bout how should i know when to stop tightening? i used lock tight on the bolts just in case.

Like all polyurethane bushing, small squeak is not uncommon. I use silicon grease on all moving surface during the installed and no problem.

The CL should come with little piece of paper the tell you how much to tighten them to. Its been a while and I no longer have that paper.

lube them up and make sure they are not too tight or have dirt between the bushings
