Question:
Have a 2022 Cougar 23MLS and it has a Lippert Road Armor suspension with plastic bushing - They now creak and pop since we have been off road is dust dirt and sand. Spray lubricant keeps them sort of quite but must be applied very ofter. I have been told than changing to wet bolts with brass bushing will eliminate the problem with regular greasing. Do you have something that I can replace the plastic with? And how do I keep the suspension from falling apart during removal and installation Evert

Hey Evert, did switching to the wet bolts and bronze bushings help with the creaking and popping noise? I'm curious to know if this solution worked for you, as it could help others facing similar issues with their suspension.
