Did anyone receive a clear explanation of difference between white and black bushings from Calmini? I know it's been said to be "squeak free," but what makes black ones to be so?

When I got my new arms, I received the new bushings. I talked to Steve Kramer at Calmini regarding the "squeak free" bushimgs. Apparently they are using a new type of compound for them asd opposed to straight Poly Urethane(Which has a reputation of being squeaky when dirt/sand/rocks get indide the bushings). So far so good.

I got the "Squeek Free" Bushings but they're squeeking so much they're driving me nuts, Tri-Flow only stopped the problem for about an hour.

I haven't called Steve about replacement bushings yet, hopefully they'll solve the problem.

as of right now i greased the hell out of the bushings. They still squeak on occasion and still shift forward and backward. I am trying to come up with a way to solve this problem. I will keep you posted when i do.

I have a box in the garage with calmini UCA's in it...I'd like to do any zerking around with them before the install instead of after, if I can.

Anyone with the skinny on this-

E-me/post the pics and or other guidance if you can.

An once of prevention is worth a pounding with a BFH.

Well I'm back from the military overseas. The last thing I posted was about this same exact problem. If anyone remembers, I called Calmini and asked what they thought about inserting zirks. It was the last thing I did before my vehicle went into storage. 2 weeks ago I bent a tie-rod and wanted to just install the Steering kit to "beef it up." I should have known better to count on Calmini's service. coming on 3 weeks later they still can't get the product produced. I was told I would have it a week ago. Anyway, after having the lift exposed to the elements for 6 months before washing and storing, the SO-CALLED Powder Coating that Calmini knows nothing about was blowing away in the wind. They offered to repaint it if I shipped it back and sacrificed no vehicle for a month. Yea Right. They still couldn't own up to a shit job [Finger] . Anyway, in the long run, last night I inserted 4 more zirks, a total of 8 to make sure the problem was resolved. I will post a pic.
