How long on your Energy Suspension Bushings?

How long have long have you had Energy Suspension (or other urethane) bushings?

Have they started to creak or get noisy?

Do you have to take them apart and re-lube them?

Doesn't seem to be much experience with ES bushings. (If they are so great, why wouldn't they be OEM?).

I guess I'll go with NISMO hard rubber.

from what i've read on my350, the ES bushings get squeaky w/time. i have whiteline bushings and they're still silent and feel solid. although i hear the ES ones are firmer

I've had ES compression rod and lower control arm bushings for about a year now and they have gotten a little squeaky. Cold weather also increases the noise. Overall its really not that bad though. I only hear a few creaks when going in/out of the drive way and when turning sharply at very slow speeds. I can live with it. They still feel as solid as they did when new. They are far better than the oem bushings IMO. I'm sure if I cleaned and re-greased them it would help, but I'm a lazy a**.
