I am installing new front bushings on the A arms for the 6. I watched several videos on the subject. There was one that even showed a guy wrapping plumbers Teflon tape around the arm and bushings as means of providing a squeak resistant surface. My confusion is the use of grease/Teflon and grease on the outer surface of the bushings. I would think you would want resistance on the outer surface and movement on the inner surface. What is the theory (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

I watched Ian's vid
I was going.to ask him if he greased the out to allow a smoother install. Anyway just an over thought question I think. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) |
