I'd second it/recommend it from the posts I've dug up over the past 3 weeks... and now from experience.
Long story short, I started to develop a low pitched squeak, couldn't nail where it was from. the poly bushed arms, or the rod ends. haven't had an issue with the trailing and control arms over the past two years. grease em via the zerk fittings regularly. but I thought I may have damaged the bushings or dirt had clogged the grease holes. couldn't figure it out.
recently removed em and BMR (Frank, fa'afetai!) were gracious enough to get me a set of new bushings and fitting to install to help trouble shoot. did em. sadly the noise was still there. could tell when jacking up the suspension by the lower control arms to reinstall the trailing and upper control arm. and these were freshly greased bushings... squawk still present.
granted I had sprayed em sorta 2 days ago. last night I was able to get BOTH sides with the brake cleaner and literally soak the rod ends and let em sit overnight with the Amsoil HD Metal Protector. this morning when I looked at em, they are kinda wax colored, but they aren't sticky, or anything. its a dry coating. 2 hours before use and 12 hours to fully set.
I drove around 100+ miles on just an afternoon fun run and not a single sound from the rod ends at all.
so if anyone has em, i'd def suggest this if your gonna run em constantly, daily driven, year round, etc... on the arms (with rod ends), or toe rods.

if you still have em, and run across any squeaks or squawks, def invest in a can of the MP

Vertical links will help my pony as well. I am dropped on progressive springs.
