As I've said before, I hit my upper control arm bushings about once a
year with silicone spray to keep the squeaking away.  I've done this for
a number of years without any apparent detriment.


My present can was purchased at a True Value hardware store and is
"Snap" branded.  They say (about themselves, of course) "Stops squeaks &
sticking". "For use on autos & boats, home, garden, workshop".


Under Automotive Use they say:


"Will stop freezing of trunk lids, doors, and locks, it will also
waterproof ignition systems, silence door hinges, lubricate rubber
mountings and repel water".


Works for me.
