TRD Sway Creaks Again

by **Solorange** » Mon Jan 23, 2006 7:40 pm

Thats right what the title says. Ive regreased once already with the white lithium grease. Its starting to creak again. I dont know what to do. Im probably just going to let it go for a while cause its being a pain. Im guessing the cold weather may have something to do with it so Ill fix it when it warms up. Do you guys have this problem? And does anybody have any ideas on how to fix the creaking? ~ Chris

Grease + plumbers tape + more grease, then bushing.

Ive had it on for about a year and a half now through two NJ winters, no creaking.

I still have the teflon tape on the bar, and i lithium greased the bushin' alot.
To the point where when i stuck the bushin' back on the bar it oozzed out alot of the grease out.

Some what your saying is next time I go under there and regrease it, I should just use the whole tube. Ok I got that. Ill do that next time

. When you say plumber's tape is that the same as teflon tape? I know what teflon tape is.

I think he means the whole tube of grease.

Grease should be oozing out when you tape it up. Then grease should be oozing out when you pu the bushing on.

I dont know if teflon tape is the same as plumbers tape.

Well you don't need the whole tube, they come in a big tube.
A nice squeze on the tube to make a line of lithuim grease on the inside of the bushin' will be fine.
