Noisy stabilizer bushings

Hi,

New here; hope you can help. (love my Max!)

Noisy stabilizer bushings driving me crazy

sound goes away after a carwash or when it rains but as soon as things dry out there we go again. The worst is when driving VERY slowly, like into a driveway.

A garage sprayed some dry lub on them and it went away for about a week or two.

any suggestions!?!

Yes, lubricate them with a plastic/polyurethane/rubber safe lubricant.

Use KY if you don't have the polyurethane lube. Safe for rubber and polyurethane.

Plumber's grease. Does not react to anything. Super vaseline. Do NOT use for sex!

Change them! Their squeaking because they are all dried out. Courtesy Nissan has eurathane bushings for the sway bar. The set should run you about 30 bucks which includes the end links and the 2 main bushings.

2 options you can try.

1) lube the bushings with waterproof marine grease.

2) get new bushing for the bar. But go to suspension.com they are lease expensive then courtesy
