I ordered energy suspension formula 5 grease for the bushings. $13-14 for 8oz tub on amazon. I’ll apply before I offroad, wash&degrease after, and then reapply after. Hopefully this helps to keep them squeak free. I don’t wanna have to take my truck in for bushings again as the dealer has replaced them twice already. Hopefully ford has a fix for the 2020s

Just got mine replaced a week before i did an off-roading trip... they squeak again...

Any aftermarket bushings available? Seems the stickers can’t handle the heat and abuse without squeaking up

Same here.

Mine suddenly started squeaking at 15k.

Stupid stealership said yeah its normal and will go away after a wash.

I said, I wash my car often and it hasn't gone away.

Will tackle it with them the next time I'm in for a service.

Just wait till 2021, coils are coming. Mine have not been making noise as of late. But no one should have to be dealing with this issue, totally sad ford.

I sprayed lube on anything I can find on the driver side spring/bushings, etc. I think it may be the seal on the shock. I need to pull the cover off and hit it too.

Anybody have a update? Some grease or spray that has worked? I cleaned mine the other day, good for a few. No it is making noises again. It was quite during winter.
