Message	Given that the tension rod bushings are a three piece design and they are in the front of the car getting all the spray and water off the road they are the most prone to the problem. Easy solution: Cut a piece out of a garbage bag and tape it around the bushings. I've have yet to hear squeak one out of them even after a year of driving in Washington, where the car got rained frequently. As for the other bushings, in the control arms and such, I've not heard of them being as much of a problem provided they are properly lubed during install. I'd search through the user profiles and find someone with a full set installed who drives their car daily or enough to see some wet weather and shoot them an email. I, unfortunately, am still trying to find time to install my ES bushing set. :(
