Default Sway-A-Way Adjustable Spring Plate & Bushing Noise

I recently installed the Sway-A-Way adjustable spring plates with the supplied red polyurethane bushings and I now have terrible squeaking noises coming from the rear suspension. Anyone know a way to resolve this short of pulling them out and replacing the bushings with something else like polygraphite or OEM rubber? I've read that some install zerk grease fittings on the outer cover but I'd love to know if this really helps before I make that modification. Thanks in advance for any suggestions or advice.

i was always worried about this . along with the thought that anything you have to grease, you have to re-grease infinitum at some interval.

Nothing to add but hope you find a solution.

Do a search on the Pelican 911 forums , a lot more traffic and the subject has been discussed already regarding poly bushings …
I stayed away from polyurethane for my 911 , i installed Elephant hard rubber bushings all around without issues.
On my SP2 car, i did install poly swaybar bushings but i wouldn’t hear it anyways if it squeaked …

Cheers
Phil

Yeah this is what I did when I refreshed my chassis and put the elephant plates on, their sport rubber are good.
