    Add some grease to your Poly bushing through the Grease Zerk and spray the Uni ball with TEFLON, not wd40 or break free.

    I probably wont do anything at all. If you have a grease zerk, pump grease into it. if you don't then take it apart and repack grease in it or loosen it enough to grease the side of the bushing. Most Aftermarket UCA now comes with grease zerks on them.

    If they are that noisey, sounds like they werent greased propperly, if at all, when installed. Take them off, rub grease all over the bushings, then reinstall, and give a couple of pumps of grease in the zerks. They shouldnt make any noise.
