FT 3" Ultimate and Squeeks
Nope its definately the rear upper control arm. I have greased it to max but it is still squeeking. It is torqued to max also. the only option left is to take it out clean it grease it and put it back. And yes it is passenger side 
i just dont want this to be an on going issue looking for a long term fix

thats odd....
Got me! remove, clean. grease, reinstall, and grease again.
Have you called FT, Zak? Might give them a buzz and ask them for their opinion on the matter before throwing them to the fire.
I wouldn't be so quick to push this on the lift maker - sounds more like a bad install to me. Hard to tell until its taken off and put back on right, unfortunately. -- or at least that sounds more likely to me.

Dont take me wrong here. I love the FT lift and i think its the best so far with what it comes with.
I have got it installed through a professional workshop who are also the dealer for Full Traction.
Everytime I go through mud trail i get squeeking. Especially always from the rear upper control arms. This is the 4th time the last 3 times they took the components off, cleaned and regreased.
All i am looking for is a long term fix so i dont have to worry about squeeks or taking things off over and over.
I have sent emails to FT and also to Eddie and on this forum to get some help if i can

I think its going to be hard to get one that doesnt make noise after giving it a mud bath. thats just the nature of the bushings. Mud destorys everything
lets not get on this rant again. thanks
I have the FT track bars front and rear.........while the Rear doesnt make any noise yet the front is very noise I am going to have to put zerk fittings in there myself and hopefully this will help
my front bars are sweet and quiet it just the rear passenger upper and lower arms are squeeky. I am thinking of taking them off clean them put white lithium grease torqued to max grease and then wrap and cover them with some kind of rubber sheet to isolate them

The rubber peice might work, but it seems it would have to be a super tiny rubber sheet lol, cause there was pretty much no room while putting in my track bars
it was a pretty tight fit.
The squeaking doesnt bother me to bad, it only is there when I roll at slow speeds
I know I greased the heck out of it when I installed, so if I just leave as is would it hurt anything? As in is the noise an indication of something that is going to happen if I dont clean and regrease, etc
Although next tues (my day off) I plan to reloc the evap can, install a snorkel, put zerk fittings into the track bars, and fix my steering stabilizer ( I know, a busy damn day lol)
