Best Torque Arm Bushing???

Just wondering who has had good luck with an aftermarket torque arm bushing? I've heard some cause extra noise,I need an indestructible one without the noise.

Another one for E/S poly bushing... No complaints here, either. I do have a spare, cuz I ordered the wrong one, so if it's the one you need, I'll give you a good deal on it - less than you'd pay from Summit or someone else. I'll have to see which one it is, though, cuz I don't remember.

Mine is an ES also, no noise. They gave me a package of very sticky grease that I put on.. maybe the "squeaker" you heard about didn't use the grease?
