I am putting in a set of turbo tie rods and the boots have that white oxidized rubber look and I was going to wipe them with something before I put them on.
I have oil, grease (various), silicone, and glycerin. I overthink everything, but I seem to recall some rubbers hate certain treatments like silicone. Im going to replace the CV boots soon too, so what's best for them? What do you use? |

If I'm not mistaken glycerin will make the rubber supple again.
