I know that the MSP has a problem with the squeeky and knocking bushings. Is there a solution to the problem other then lubing them ever ******* 3000KM?

Iv see some "Polyurethane" bushings? do they work once and for all? There like 55$ each. so 110 to replace... witch is more then the 10$ for the stock ones, but it might be worth it if they work for a long time.
 
You can get Energy Suspension or Prothane units and they sure as hell don't cost $55/each (more like $20'ish.

Search fo the size; they're 22 mm IIRC
 
Lots of info on here for Clunk Fix (a Canadian Brother to boot)!(canada)
 
I'm seeing some good reviews of the AXR kit, but I don't know where to to purchase it in the US. can anyone recommend a vendor in the States?
 
Buy it directly from AXR. That's what I did. The borders are open for shipping.
 
yeah I was looking at that the polys I put in only lasted a year and a half and greasing them is a ****** chore and a half.
 
awesome. Thanks. They are quoting about $30 shipping to WI at this point, and I'm waiting to hear back from them on if the $195 is USD or Candian.
 
as ive stated before, i know the guy personally, his products top notch....im ordering my AXR bracket this month, he has some in stock, though he mentioned hes running short on bushings....so act quick!
 
The AXR bracket fixed my clunk, but the bushings, which were greased with the stuff he supplied now squeak worse than the stock ones. I only had the stuff installed at the end of July.
 
Weird. Mine take months to squeak, if at all. However, I don't think I used that clear lube that comes with the kit. I use Pennzoil (brand doesn't matter) Blue Marine grease. It's completely compatible with our bushings and lasts a long time. I give them a little shot when I do my oil changes about every four or five months.
 
Haven't had any issues with mine clunking with the Clunk Fix. I regrease mine about once a year via the zerks on the brackets. I've had mine installed for about 18 months.
