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 didn't have one in my hand to measure but ok then, 1/8th inch deep or the size of the head of that dremel bit. Make 2 deep pockets with the dremel so there is a reserve of grease in the bushing.
hey, you'll see when you grease everything up and slide it together. Hehe, most of the grease is scraped off when you assemble it onto your hands. The grooves hold some grease inside atleast. Hmm, the bushings I got from JP were Poly not rubber. Silicon grease was provided by the company to use with them. Now, if you are installing rubber bushings that would be different. Geoff |
