I'm still noticing very minor noises, this morning the air temperature was -3C and indeed there was a bit of a moan, I will be applying it again tonight, but it seems to be working.
At $4.99 its worth the progress applications.

I should add that I ran the car over the speed bumps alot while doing the application. I had grocery shopping to do so I sprayed the silicone on twice, ran up to the store and hit the bumps, then sprayed some more, when done shopping hit the bumps again after another application, then repeated. So I really worked the suspension up and down. I set out to do the same thing the next day and started out with an application, which is when I noticed the small movement of the bushing assembly, but there was no noise on the speed bumps so I just came home. I was afraid I might be profiled as casing the stores for a robbery after cruising up and down so much. Didn't want to hang around the lot any longer.  |

I thought a bit about this over the weekend, and the apply-and-drive approach makes the most sense. Try to turn corners and hit bumps if it all possible. That should help to get the silicon down into the area where the strut bearing is located. Focus the spray in the little bowel that the center strut bolt sits inside. Fill it up to the top, then take a drive.
I had to re-apply on my driver's side this week-end. It had been quiet for over a week, but this time I applied it, then drove a bit, making corners that would normally cause the noise. All is quiet once again, so I definitely recommend driving after you apply it.
