I called Calmini and got put on a 'waiting list' for the replacement idler arm assembly w/ the new bushings, but it's been about 4+ weeks...time to call and find out what the deal is.

My upper a-arm bushings used to squeek, but I found that either synthetic bicycle or motorcycle chain lube eliminates the noise. It's been 3 months or more and I haven't heard a peep. the stuff works well for all kinds of bushing noise.
