Squeaking end link
 
One of my swaybar endlinks is making a lot of noise and makes my truck sound like a freaking hoopty. Any suggestions? I thought about taking the sway bar off and trying to force some grease between the bushing and the link itself. Thoughts?

Go get some Seafoam Deep Creep. It's what I use on my truck. I soaked my rear leaf springs and shackles and it finally stopped squeaking. I also use it on my PowerBoards and door hinges when they start making noise.

I'll give that a shot. Thanks Morgan!

That stuff works well, but FYI I wouldn't use it on your powerboard bushings. They are known for wearing out fast, and any wetness will attract more dirt to wear the bushings faster. Graphite is your friend there.

Graphite spray is the best

Wouldn't this apply to any bushing then?

I guess I need to get some graphite spray!

Yes to metal bushings like the brass ones found on powerboards and the besttop steps, but on poly/rubber type it isn't a big deal. Also depends on the application.
