The two solid bush wont be rubbing anything, so it won't have any sound if its tight and installed properly. Some other problem..wrong installation? Wrong bushing? Or the squecks come from other place.

Sorry not silicone. Polyurethane

I just read this

It does more noisier than rubber sad.gif

This is a fun topic because there are a lot of misconceptions out there regarding polyurethane and squeaking. But before we address those, here are the facts about a rubber bushing regarding the issue. Rubber is chemically bonded with the outer shell. So from the moment you take it out of the box and install the rubber replacement bushing, you don’t have to worry about squeaking. Squeaking occurs when the bushing rubs against metal. Because the rubber is affixed to the metal and can’t move in relation to the metal, there isn’t an opportunity for squeaking.

U need to see the application also. For your steering rack bush, it wont cause squeeks. Like the last sentence in your article explains it.

Want to rejuvenate your car bushings or rubbers, eliminate squeky sounds at your bushings? Try using silicone lubricant. It works by soften back your bushings/rubber to prevent it from deteriorating and crack. I tried it on my car and it works to eliminate squeky sound.

I use the toyo brand (rm13 spray can), went down under my car and spray at all the rubbers, bushings and moving parts i can find and leave it overnight. I use up 1 can 300ml because i spray at a lot of places including my door lining rubbers, engine mounting, absorber mounting etc. Heck even scotty klimer recommends using this product as a maintenance item to prolong your bushings/rubbers lifetime.

Background:

Recently when i switch off my car audio, i can hear some nyek nyek nyek sound coming from my car left rear side. So i did some test by pressing my rear absorbers let it bounce up and down, no sound. But when i push it side to side, can hear the nyek nyek sound. So i suspect my bushings no good d.

Bring to mech, he say ya, your bushings keras d. Need change. If change all around rm1k. He say if one is going, all will go also. I see memang keras a bit, but no pecah yet. So nvm, i bring my car back first since the bunyi very little only. Finally decided to try the silicone lubricant to try to bring back my bushings to working life.

No more squeeks when going over uneven roads/bumps. So far so good.

Which bushing exactly? Upper arm? Lower arm?
