Lower links w/ Rubicon Express Super Flex Joint
I've developed a loud creak/squeak in my 99 4Runner that I think is coming from my DS lower rear link. Has anyone experienced this? I was also wondering if using a marine grade bearing grease is what is recommended. I don't want to go mixing the wrong grease in there. Thanks for the help.

Being that their poly bushings, i bet thats were the squeak comes from. Use any waterproof grease with Teflon.
By the way, how do you like those super flex joints? Any noticeable off-road improvement over the stock links?

I actually have the one's with the super flex joints on both ends, no poly bushings. I find it odd that they would squeak, but I figured greasing them up would elminate them from the equation.
They flex really nice. They give me quite a bit of travel. The tail gunner on the last run told me they were pretty flexy from what he saw from behind.

I just recently noticed the squeak after my last trip out. Now when we get in or out it creaks. I'll try greasing the links and see if it helps.
