I've used Energy Suspensions on three chevelles .. in NC so perhaps its warmer and thus I have never had squeeks (one car has been restored for one year now). Got the kits from Jegs I think. Perhaps the squeek is there but with flow masters and a BBC I can't hear anything but engine. I've seen cracks develop in rubber in less than 3 years on a friends restoration .. he now has to replace them.

Don't tell me, in the upper control arm bushings. Never fails. We did a Camaro and the stock type rubber just fell apart (6 months) and the control arm shaft came loose.
