my 76 squeeks from the rear swaybar bushings and springs. they were replaced a few years ago with poly bushings but its still noisy!!
Anyone have a good fix or lube to try?

Maybe the installer didn't lube the busings when they were put in. Poly's must be lubed or are known to squeak. Hopefully just R&R the bushings and lube will fix the problem. You shoul contact Energy Suspension for the type of lube to use unless someone else here knows....

You can use any thick liquid dishwashing soap to lube rubber or poly bushings. It works just as good as oil but won't harm rubber at all.

I used to have a 84 trans am ws-6 that squeeked a lot. About once a month I would have it up on a lift and just spray all it's bushings with wd-40 and that always quieted it down.
