    The bushings need PTFE silicone grease, assuming you have the poly bushings. If you don't have greasable bolts in them then you gotta take them out and grease them by hand.

    I wouldn't put grease between the leaves... It'll attract dirt like no other and make it way worse over time. Can't imagine how messy that would look lol

    Your paint looks just as oxidized as mine. Mine is pretty bad.

    I kinda figured I wouldn’t, since I quit to move home, but “I also moved home cause of COVID”. It says I’m only eligible for 180$ a weeks, just filled It would for last week.

    See what my remedy was for squeaking leafs?

    Oh and oxidized is a nice way of putting it; my truck looks worse in person just ask some of the guys here.

    Triflow is better to spray on the leaves themselves since it isn't grease based and doesn't attract dirt as much. But because of that it doesn't last very long, I used to keep a can of it in my truck to spray my old leaves and bushings down once every week or two

    Sure, if you don't have a large flat head screw driver.

    You don't need to remove the leaf pack or anything.

    Now I have to check if that's the same guy who went 4Hi for tight turns in
    THE PARKING LOT.
    He was asking about tires chirping and hopping while fighting the steering wheel and STRANGE HANDLING.

    Jokes on you, I'm still 2wd so I skip mud.

    I may even get my 4x4 swap done before someone's LT gets installed

    I took mine off for awhile but didn't like the look as much... But it looks better that way on white than on red or any other color. Probably look ok on black too. But you definitely get more rock and dirt action on the fenders without the flares on. And mud all up in your cab if the window is down lol

    I never even knew the TSX existed until 3 weeks ago haha. This thing just keeps growing on me more and more.

    So glad I went with it over the IS250. More tech and a less dated interior for the same amount of money and horsepower. Also less potential issues and its easy to maintain.

    Only thing I noticed while changing the oil last weekend was a wet spot on the transmission, which I think is coming from the drivers CV axle seal. Little low on fluid so I guess Ill keep an eye on it once I can get some Acura ATF to top it off with this weekend.

    AH I thought you took it all apart. I might grease the bushings then do your method too. To grease UCA's or LCA's you got to take them all apart too. huh?

    Lol maybe, seems like there's a 3rd gen thread about that every week. Someone coming from an AWD Subaru wondering why the hell they can't drive their Tacoma around town in 4hi

    The bushings yeah. Stock uca ball joints aren't greasable. Some aftermarket UCAs have greasable bushings though. JBA being one of them
