Dan,


What you just do is replace the worn out bushings & shafts--


No greasing required--


Although, seeing as your in the drilling mood---the correct way to do
this would be to through drill the pivot shaft, have kurfs machined at
the bushing ends, and add grease fittings on the ends--

Has anybody tried anybody tried drilling, taping and putting a grease
fitting on the upper control arm bushings to stop the squeak? Do you
drill thru the rubber all the way till you touch the inner metal sleeve,
or do you just drill thru the outer metal jacket?
Thanks,
~Dan
