I've never heard of the exhaust bolts snapping on their own. Maybe one of
the mechanics did it when you took it in for servicing? If you have to
remove the exhaust manifold, now would be a great time to replace your stock
manifolds with some JBA headers. I know X-Mas is coming, but it "does" fall
into the "might as well" or "while you're at it" category ;-)
What are you using to spray the control arm bushing? I have heard great
things about white lithium grease. If you can't shake the squeak, you can
always replace them with Energy Suspension's poly bushings.
