Mechanic's syringes

[LL - NY]

Squeaky Poly bushings. I checked with the mfg of the bar. The stock rubber
bar bushings were as dry as the desert and didn't squeak. Funny thing is the
poly bushings in my former Solo car were mouse quiet. Anyway, per the sway
bar mfg, I'm going to try Marine Grease, hopefully it won't wash out like
the Lithium did (not that I was surprised).
