unfortunately, no. Been there, done that. Ugh. Sorry. At least now you know there are others who have suffered similar fate. But in the end, the car does drive better.

i had an aerosol silicone spray work reasonably, well, urethane bushings on a '63 Classic. YMMV. easier than disassembly! lol

If you used the waxy garbage that came with the bushing then thats your problem. I have poly bushings on every single bushing front and rear on 2 cars and have not had a squeak from them since installation. I once read that copper lead anti seize was the stuff to use but I use a moly graphite sliding paste called Chesterton 787. It is hard to find and recently switched to CRC brake caliper grease which is a moly graphite heavy body grease that also includes PTFE. Either one will work and the moly will get into the pores of the metal for additional lubrication. Take the bushings apart and coat both sides of the bushings before pressing back into the shells
