Thing is, with suspension, you should assemble everything and snug the bolts, letting everything be able to move still. Once its all together, then you can torque it all to spec. At least thats the way I learned how to do it. Thats also how I did mine on my 90. I used poly as well.
I really used allot of the grease and in fact bought an extra tub of it for assembly. I put it on every part of the bushing and any surface that would potentially bind.
Its been a couple of years now and I still have no squeaks and the car rides well.

Okay so I am a bit embarrassed to admit this but I initially put the lower control arm in the position of the shock mount point on the nuckle. It created an awkward angle and restricted the movement. An easy switch to the correct hole corrected everything and now the movement is smooth.
Did you change the u-joints on the half shafts? I have significant rust and not sure if I dare to use significant force to remove the bolts while risking breaking them or stripping the threads. Any thought?
Thanks for the support so far!
