Does the factory use grease/lube on the shackle bolts to limit squeaking?

Nope. It's not a performance bushing.. it's a comfort/quiet one from the factory.

They are also molded to the center area the bolt goes thru so that's why it's a big deal to torque at ride height..


The deavers use energy suspension poly urethane that need greased..

the poly ones the center sleeve floats which contributes to noises
