Has anybody installed Red LCA poly bushings & can’t stand the noise they make ? I installed some they make for a firm ride but not a harsh ride with new struts all around . I just can’t stand the noise car got aligned after is this a common thing ? Tried adding more grease & that dosent seem to be the case unless it’s y upper UCA as they’re still stock & the car just turned 65k miles .

The zerks don’t really do much. With the clearance of the bolt to the washers , it all comes out at the bolt od before squeezing along the actual articulating faces.

Unfortunately, the way to fix this is to take it back apart and lube the hell out of the washers and bushing faces and reinstall.

This was my exact experience at least.

Autozone sells a green synthetic lube that is marine focused and super thick. That’s the stuff to use to keep it in place. The supplied red grease is a bit thin imho.

Adam112 is spot on with his observation. I love the synthetic green grease for marine applications. It does not wash out and the poly bushings keep quiet. I live in Las Vegas the red stuff washes out since it is so hot.
