the front subframe gets dropped so the toe settings etc can be anything, so it is a good idea

Do these need to be lubricated periodically? The prior owner installed them on my MINI. I'm getting a lot of noise up front going over bumps. I had the MINI on a lift last week and there was a slight click from these bushings under load, which the mechanic thought may be the culprit. Other than the noise, car is driving great.

could be the control arms moving in the metal sleeve of the psrs. That's the problem with the psrs. Is it a problem not really just very annoying.

They were welded in, so I don't think they are moving in the sleeve. Do they need to be lubricated periodically?
