Call all Nerf Bar owners, need some help?
I have a set of nerf bars installed on my 2003 Jeep X. They bother
the hell out of me because they squeak, everytime I come to a stop/hit
the brakes. The reason they squeak, is because the body mounts that
are on the Jeep come with a rubber bushing. The large bolt is
removed, and then an L shaped brace is attached to the body mount.
Then, the nerf bars are attached to the L shaped brace. When you step
on the nerf bar, they squeak, because the rubber bushing is rubbing.
I tried some wd-40 and to no avail.
My question is, is this how all nerf bars are installed. Well, all
nerf bars that do not require any drilling. I can't remove the rubber
bushing, because it needs to be there.
Any help would be appreciated, or anyone with a different type of bar
that has had success. The name of the nerf bars are "Back Country"
Thanks,
Ron

Your problem is using WD-40 which is a Water Displacer and not a lubricant.
Try some silicon spray lube or powdered graphite, either one should work.
The other solution involves turning up the radio. :)

Re: Call all Nerf Bar owners, need some help?
Technically Doug, WD-40 is a solvent that also happens to be a very good
water displacer. You're right that it's not classified as a lubricant...
and whatever lubricant properties it has are poor and short-lived since it
evaporates within a few days. :)
