I've had TRF urethane bushings on the front of my TR6 for several years now,
never a squeak. In the rear I used the "uprated" (at that time) hard rubber
bushings that were a pain to install. But again, no squeaks. I remember
using a dab of anti-seaze as lubricant when I assembled the bushings though.
Great improvement in ride vs. original worn-out bushings.
Hope this helps,
