Default Noise From Febi Contol Arms When Hot
How many of us that have installed new Febi control arms are getting the groaning moaning squeeky noise when turning the steering wheel when it is hot outside?

Any way to properly lube the joints when installing (without damaging the rubber)?

It seems to be the bushing themselves causing the noise. Lube will probably not help.
