    I'd honestly send it on the white lines, and take the savings to get OEM cam bolts. Both the Moog bushings and cams are a downgrade.

    I've wheeled the shit outta my rig and I will say that the OEM rubber bushings squeaked just as much as some of the poly bushings others have run. I haven't heard a peep out the whitelines LCA bushings, nor the ES UCA / leaf spring bushings. I'm all poly at this point without squeaks.

    my whiteline bushings have never made any noise. neither have the poly bushings in my jba uca. but like said. torqing bolt at full droop cause bushing to tear. nothing actually "spins" with a rubber bushing. the rotation is simply the rubber stretching between the inner and outer sleeve. this applies to any rubber bushing for future reference. shock bushings, leaf springs, etc.

    This is true, I just pulled my LCAs to reapply grease and add the zerks, the whitelines still look brand new. They’ll probably last the rest of the truck’s life.

    Like I said, my case is anecdotal. I hear more positive stories about whiteline than negative.

    I do too! I started to think it was something else but every time I add more grease through the zerks the squeaks stop for a bit. Then they just come back, I don’t get it :annoyed:

    Same. My Deavers and their supplied poly bushing like to make some racket but I can mitigate it as needed. The front is quiet.

    I had Moog lca bushings as well, 6 months in and they were done. Worse part is it cupped my 6 month old Firestones as well. I am running whitelines now.

    After only a month you either installed them wrong, or you'd be due for a refund/return. Even cheap shit shouldn't do that. Moog is cheap, but generally not garbage.

    I'd start with calling Rock Auto.
