I replaced my shocks a couple months ago with some Skyjacker Hydros. The front lower mounts were a bit tight so I widened the brackets and shaved a little off the bushings, nothing extrordinary. The rears fit snug, had to beat them onto the mounting post with a hammer, however the fronts basically slid on. I am now getting a persistant squeak from the fronts. It finally got so bad that I could reproduce the sound in my driveway with the car parked and some muscle. My lower mounts have a lot of play in them. The bushings are not tight on the bolt and like to wander up and down; the lateral (sliding) motion is tight. Not only does this make for an annoying sound, but my shocks are probably not working efficiently with so much slack in the linkage. Do you guys recommend inserting another metal sleeve in the already existing one, replace the sleeve with a thicker one, or should I try to find thicker bolts. Each probably lends its own obstacles, but I'm looking for an "expert" opinion to go from.
TIA
