Subject:Squeaking Bushings
From:R. Hotchkiss

Hey all,

My 86 GL has squeaked since I bought it 30k ago.  My Mechanic believes
the bushings are the culprit but said they're dry.  So I crawled under,
shook the van, listened and found the uper control arm bushings to be
the loudest.  I took the arm off (pretty easy) and greased
everything...still squeaks.

I remember a thread about this before but couldn't find it in the
archives.

Anyone else squeaking?  Anyone fix it?  Do I have to replace bushings?
etc.

TIA
