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 |

Found this old rennlist post and an answer from
Mike Scott: QUOTE The grease is available from HPH (thanks Rich for having a single bushing on hand when I needed it!) and probably some list sponsors. I have some that I picked up at a Bug shop, called Pro-Thane, it's the same stuff. You definately don't want to use ANY other kind of grease, I've tried several, and the only one that works is the white sticky stuff... Rich Herzog: QUOTE i'm partial to the very sticky, slimy, horrible Teflon-bearing bushing grease Performance Parts/Automotion sells. i used it on all the polyurethane bushings (A-Arms, two antiroll bars, trailing arms) in my GTI and haven't heard squeak one. |
