03-07 CADILLAC CTS GREASE-ABLE FRONT SWAY BAR BUSHINGS
Our Cadillac CTS sway bar bushings are a direct replacement for worn factory installed rubber sway bar bushings. Made of high quality polyurethane and are a bit stiffer than the stock units. Unlike the factory sway bar bushings, these bushings have grease grooves cast into the polyurethane. Periodically you will need to grease these bushings while installed on the car. This is to prevent squeaking when the vehicle encounters bumps in the road.
NOTE: The factory sway bar bushing brackets will need to be drilled and tapped to grease these bushings on the vehicle. Removing the bushings and greasing by hand is another option. If you do not grease these bushings, they will squeak. We offer high quality grease specially formulated by us here – https://creative-steel.com/shop/mercedes-products/slk-class/slk55-05-10-r171/cs-14oz-polyurethane-grease-tube/
If you hear clunking noises coming from the front suspension of your car when you hit bumps in the road, worn sway bar bushings are the probable cause. Worn sway bar bushings allow the sway bar to move and flex causing “body roll” when cornering. These sway bar bushings will force the sway bar to perform as intended. This makes the vehicle more rigid and stable during cornering without changing ride comfort.
