This would not cause a squeak so I was trying to save him the time and effort spent trying to straighten out the bracket.
Thank you. I have no idea where the heck it's coming from and it comes and goes.

Yep they sent me a new set for half the price which I thought was messed up they should have sent then to me for free. I thought there was a lifetime warranty but apparently not on bushings

I figured as much. Those are the links I have and I've noticed the rod end has very little misalignment. I'm sure mine will fall apart at some point too. Thread jack over



To the OP, hope you get this straightened out. Sorry if I came across as a dick--I do that from time to time.

Found my squeak. After I installed my MORE skid plate, I didn't get the motor mount bolts tight enough. Tightened the down and no more squeak
