What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[HiHoeSilver]

Lubed the front and rear sway bar bushings with some marine grade lithium grease, that eliminated some of the noise something is still noisy either the control arm bushings or the struts

You applied it with a paint roller?

lol, "rubber gloves" I took the bushings off and generously slobbered grease all over, bolted it back up, pic is before I cleaned it up a bit. with these Hellwig sway bars it has to be done every 6-9 months or it starts making all kinds of weird sounds

You'd think they'd have zerks in them.

one of the other aftermarket sway bar makers has zerk's and a channeled bushing it would be convenient but it only takes a few minutes to do, I haven't used Marine grease on them before maybe it will hold up a little longer it's supposed to be water resistant and they usually start making noise right after it rains. I have some other lithium spray grease I am probably going to take the front wheels off and spray the control arms and end links, something else is noisy and it's rubber or sounds like rubber

I think I found the source of my noise, the spohn rear control arms needs to be lubed noise is coming from the rear instead of the front, they do have zerk fittings

 

[Doubeleive]

Got under it and lubed the rear lower control arms didn't seem to be the problem either so I just lithium grease sprayed all the bushings (shocks, end links, control arms, panhard bar) and 95% of the noise is gone now no more rubber on rubber noise

Reminds me of the girl known as "Bike Seat" in High School.

this stuff is industrial lithium grease it doesn't run or drip, maybe if you lay it on really heavy it might at first
