    I have 40,000 on mine and the noise is never ending. Even when sprayed with dry PTFE lubricating spray as they recommend, the noise is only dampened for a few hours. It looks like the only option is to have them replaced.

    Is this common? Uncommon?

    Idk I have Camburg UCA but I’m assuming they might use FK uniballs as well so it shouldn’t matter the brand of UCA(you know what they say about assuming tho) but I have noise as well so I just got a flowmaster super 10 muffler and now I just hear a nice purr and blissfully go about my day ignoring anything that could be wrong until I get home and actually check before a long drive or Off road adventure

    Mine used to squeek a lot until the ucas were greased well. I would lube them with that tri fold lubricant, but the noise never went away.

    Spraying my uniball with PTFE now makes the bushings groan like crazy at slow speeds. I can’t think of why?
