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 |

Silicone attacks and degrades rubber gentlemen. find a non-silicone, non-oil based lube. Automotion used to list a plastic bushing grease in their catalog, doesnt PP have something similar?
