I'm going to start reassembling the front of my car. What lube should I use on these bushings??
They are StrasseUSA units. JP said that he used silicon based grease? -Rusty |

I have seen some grease that may be what you are looking for. They sell it at the hardware store in the plumbing department. It is called High Temp Silicone Plumbers Grease; I think it is made to lube faucets w/ out washing away. Comes in a small tin about the size of a half-dollar. It kind of looks like clear RTV (opaque white).
If you use regular grease you may end-up w/ squeaky suspension. |
