i have a 91 2wd ranger. I just put new radius arm bushings in it due to the original wearing out. I was told to get Moog brand but i didnt and got the cheap ones. I have oiled the bushings, antiseized them. I still have a scrunch when i go around corners and hit the brakes, and when i hit dips in the road that really flex the suspension. The noise goes away if you lube the bushings. I was wondering if anyone has ran into this problem. If i should go and get the more expensive one.:icon_welder::icon_confused:
 
did you but those hard plastic one? if so ditch those dam things.

the poly ones are ok and the rubber ones like from factory are in general better.

do you have a worn spot in the metal on your radius arm or the brackets from the worn out bushing.(some people let them get really bad) that will cause a squeak sometimes even with new bushings
