    Default Squeaking bushing inserts

    I installed about a week ago, the thrust arm bushing inserts that Bruno Sells at Racing King www.racingking.ca on my 95 525i. I have driven with them for about 300 miles in dry weather and rain. They squeak quite a bit. I just used Superlube on them and they no longer squeak when I push down on each fender. We shall see. Bruno says no one else has had this issue. Any ideas.

    Did not have any real problems except I am not sure I was able to completely torque the bolts to about 96 pounds. I used a breaker bar and torque wrench to tighten after the car was pulled upon ramps. How critical are the torque values? I did not put any weight in the seats like some have suggested. Is this a problem? Do I have something loose or too tight?
    Thanks,
