spring bushings probably are shot/not greased enough.

Grease is cheaper than parts, and it's a lot easier to install. 8)

I'll tell you a quick story that's related:

I've been doing my grease once a month. I do notice a slight difference after I grease, so I thought maybe there was a better grease that would handle once a month greasings.

I tried a product from Chevron.

After 2 weeks, it was making those sounds you speak of(or close). Switched back right away.

I'm going to try 3 weeks on the original product(red tek).
