I have them everywhere in the front end of my '89 Diplomat, installed by professional mechanic. I recall lube coming with some of the bushings (some were from firmfeel, some from other suppliers). Can't say what method mechanic used in when he torqued hardware.

I have zero squeaking and it's been thousands of miles.

Now it probably does make a difference in the geometry of the suspension shruggy
