WD40 is not a lube!!!
Try lithium grease. If that does not work, try a lot of lithium grease. Also, this should be in the EF forum.
Check to make sure that the bushings aren't broken in some way. Lots of people have had problems with the bushings in the Megan LCAs, and quite a few people also replaced the bushings with new polyurethane ones.
ya know that mite be the problem..theyre not broken but theyre quite stiff and like plastic feeling to me...where could i pick up new bushings?
Sounds like you already have some kind of poly bushing, which are known to squeek alot when not lubed correctly. Regular grease won't work.
I have energy suspension bushings on my car. They say to either use their grease, or a "marine grease" as a substitute. After about 6 months of use they became really noisy, so I used some gereric marine grease I got at autozone to fix the problem. Has worked like a charm so far.
