Dear Dave,


             The front and rear sway bar bushings are normally black rubber.   Poly bushings can also be black.....and other colors, too, I think.   I used to have poly sway bar bushings in the rear and stock rubber in the front.  I can't recall any problem with squeaking sway bar bushings.

              IF they are squeaking, then rather than apply zerk fittings, I would suggest, dis-assembly  of the offending poly sway bars bushing and application of anti-seize, then re-assembly.

                               Warmest regards,  Chuck Engles

Sorry but now I am confused. I checked both the front and rear sway bars and unless poly fittings are black I have rubber bushings. I assume they are the originals. Something is squeaking so what is the best course of action? Add zerks or replace?
