Not if properly lubricated.   Since your front end is apart anyway, go 
ahead and pull the A-arms, remove the bushings (they will pop right out,   
unlike the factory kind that have to be pressed out), and lubricate them both 
inside and out.   

This is the stuff I now use:

You know how when you buy poly bushings, they normally include a teeny, 
tiny tube of lubricant, enough to do perhaps a quarter of the bushings that are 
provided in any given kit?   This tube contains what appears to be the same 
stuff, but in mass quantities, enough to do your car a dozen times, and 
it's cheap.
