Talking of poly bushes, I've heard that they squeek or otherwise make noise.
I've got this disconcerting noise, sounds like the noise a speedometer
cable makes just before it breaks, but is bump related. Can duplicate it by
jumping up and down on the front bumper or drive over rough terrain. Best I
can tell, its coming from the front spring perch on my poly equipped RM
springs. Could this be the dreaded Polybush squeak??? Suppose I should oil
up the bushing and see if it goes away. Any one else experienced this with
RM parabolics or Polybush equipped series trucks??
For you stock spring lovers, jumping up and down on the front bumper with
stock springs wouldn't have caused any noise because the springs wouldn't
have depressed at all. BTDT.
