Re: Poly/graphite bushings

[Bob Asay <polyhead64@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I rebuilt the front end of my 64 wagon with the poly/graphite bushings and the 
ride is firm and the handling great but it is true the squeaking is terrible. 
It almost sounds like it is ready to go. I was later told that if you grease 
the poly bushings when you install them it will squelch the squeaking, Oh well 
live and learn. Bob A
