I just had new BDS UCA installed with a set if 8112s and the UCAs are squeaking (at least I think that it is them). You can hear it with just the slightest pushing down on the front bumper. Is this normal? I only have about 65 miles on them, so maybe they need a break-in or something? I do not believe the bushings are greasable, but the ball joints appear to have been greased. TIA

I may have already fixed this. I sprayed the bushings last night with WD-40 Specialist Silicone and this morning when I went out and pushed up and down on the front bumper there was no squeaks. Hopefully that is all I needed to do. Only time will tell. It could be that the parts were colder and contracted a bit, so it might come right back. 🤞
