Yes I did grease them. And cleaned the shit out of the metal holes where they go. The squeaking comes and goes. I have had this with Poly bushings on other vehicles too. Kinda sounds like a Beaners Gardning truck

I've run the poly bushings for years and only got squeaking after 15 years. I now use teflon trailer ball grease; it makes the bushings slide nice and won't attack the bushings like axle grease can. That will cause the bushings to squeak on and off.

Never said you were- the grease they give you doesn't hold up and causes squeaks thats all. the comment was meant in general terms.
