Seems strange that BG's would squeak. The rubber ones shouldn't squeak at all?
Its like dragging a tennis shoe across a lineoluem floor... Mine squeak when I back out over a short curb (like at the end of a driveway) or you bounce the back end hard. Keep in mind the original bushings were molded about the spring plate at the factory, and had a really snug-ola fit to the chassis. Those probably did deform. The Neatrix is a cheap and cheesy solution IMO, but it works well if the planets align. Keep in mind they are 1/6 th the cost of Chuck's bushings at $50. If yours aren't squeaking, don't worry about it. If you have loads of cash and are building THEE ride, use the high buck ones. Something went awry with mine, but it doesn't create anything dangerous, so the next time I am really bored I pull em' back out and take a peek. -BG

Thanks for the info, guys! I feel more confident now. BTW, my end plates were a little dicey, too. One was ok, the other wasn't lookin' good, so I replaced them with a used set that was in perfect condition.
Brad, Sorry to steel your thread! But, I think it will be good for those doing a search later on.

Mine spin and fit nicely without being crammed in there. They feel good although I wouldn't know what they would feel like otherwise. I glued mine and it didn't hold. I do not see how super glue is going to permently hold these on the tubes. It doesn't seem probable.

Did mine a few months back with Neatrix when I was re-indexing the torsion bars, didn't glue them. Just a dab of sythetic grease and jam it in place. I did clean and sand the end plates, they were looking a little rough. YMMV
