Squeaking in the rear suspension
Hi guys! First of, Happy New Years! 
Secondly, I have crazy squeaking noise coming from my rear suspension!
I believe (after greasing the bushings on the endlinks and sway bar and after speaking with a trusted mechanic) it is the teflon coated ball joint on the adjustable camber arms I have. It seems like I have to get the ball joint replaced and that this squeaking will occur every time the teflon coating gets used up (once a year). Any other options besides replacing the ball joints every year? Not sure if there is a teflon spray or an equivalent that will do the same trick as a teflon coating.
TIA!
