squeaky bushings

[Gene M.]

Any suggestions what to spray squeaky front trail arm bushings with to quiet them down. Don't want to take apart. Tried WD40 and did nothing. Might be polyurethane but not sure.

If they're polyurethane, I don't know of any way to prevent them from squeaking. If they're rubber, they shouldn't squeak. So, I expect they are polyurethane.

Gene;

In the old days (like really old days) I can recall a mechanic who mixed a little kero and oil and sprayed that on squeaky bushings.

I am not recommending this... just passing along a little history for what it is worth.

Joel, thanks for the suggestion, I'll try mixing some WD40 with kerosene and squirt some on.
