I have a set of nerf bars installed on my 2003 Jeep X. They bother the hell out of me because they squeak, everytime I come to a stop/hit the brakes. The reason they squeak, is because the body mounts that are on the Jeep come with a rubber bushing. The large bolt is removed, and then an L shaped brace is attached to the body mount. Then, the nerf bars are attached to the L shaped brace. When you step on the nerf bar, they squeak, because the rubber bushing is rubbing. I tried some wd-40 and to no avail.
My question is, is this how all nerf bars are installed. Well, all nerf bars that do not require any drilling. I can't remove the rubber bushing, because it needs to be there.
Any help would be appreciated, or anyone with a different type of bar that has had success. The name of the nerf bars are "Back Country"
Thanks, Ron
