my vx rarely squeaked to begin with, it was mostly for handling purposes, but i havent heard a squeak out of my vx since i did the swap.. i noticed a difference in my steering through tight turns (+) and the gf said she feels like the vx takes bumpy roads a little nicer with much less bounding side to side (i didnt notice much improvement in this department.. but i started to ignore the bumpy ride a long time ago.. but i beleive her because i didnt tell her what the bushings were supposed to do and thats the first thing she said after riding in the vx afterwards)
