Default My front ones were super noisy. Had dealer replace with OEM bushings.

Big mistake. New ones just as bad as old ones were.

I replaced with Powerflex poly bushings, the turn in difference was pretty drastic

Default Mine seems to have stopped on its own... that or I stopped noticing.

Been pretty cold here a few days too... for GA that is. Few mornings in the 20s.

Default I noticed that ambient temp seems to make a big difference... for me, below 35=no squeak...

Above that, and it's like being in a henhouse.

Default Exact opposite for me>>>

I first noticed all the noise as soon as it dropped below 45. 45-50ish - barely noticeable. Above 50 - it was completely quiet.

Do Powerflex bushings fit stock bar with the plastic fitting removed? What size?
