Hey guys, installed HHP drag springs, bmr rear upper control arms and their trailing arms as well. I believe it's the upper control arms that are noisy. I greased them and torqued them down good but cannot figure out why they're squeaking so bad. Any ideas?

Maybe it's not them making the noise? I'd shoot each joint separately with WD-40 and bounce it up and down just to isolate the squeak. Then go from there, I know WD-40 is not a lubricant, but it will work.

Do you have the adjustable versions with heim joint rod ends? If so, I went through this too. Spray some WD-40 Gel Lube or Trick Shot Lube on them and they won't make any more noise again.

Yes, they're the adjustable versions. Thank you, I'll try that out!

It will work, guaranteed. I sprayed mine and never heard them make any noise almost 11 months later when I finally sold the car, so its entirely possible they may go much longer without making any noise. BMR says those joints are teflon lined and not supposed to make any noise but they can get water in them and it will dry them out, the lube will not only lube them but act as a barrier to prevent moisture from getting back in there.
