Is there another type of bushing for the rear torsion bar that doesn't squeak? I've replaced the bushings (red poly) currently I've added a couple of washers for spacers to decrease the pressure, is this ok?
Thanks

Just load them with anti seize. Haven't had a squeak since.

Thanks so much for the input, I'll give the anti-seize a try, I noticed some venders say you should re-size before you install, should they spin freely on the torsion bar and the cap that holds them in? if so what do you do just sand them down?
thanks

No you want a snug fit. They should just slip on and I would get rid of the washers. You don't want the bushings or bars and spring plates moving in and out

The ones that need honed for proper fit are the front bushings.

The yellow saco bushings arent as squeaky.Mckenzies or Kartek has them.
