Yeah, soley for anti-creaking purposes! I copper'd them up and have had no noises since and the ride still feels great - that's with new lowering springs which are super firm and 17" throwig stars. It was a bit too rough with the 18" wheels I had on but really happy with it now!

I am assuming with the powerflex bushings you don't need to preload the bushing as with the normal bushings? With all the grease and all
