Trying to figure out what to use to lubricate rubber sway bar bushing. The factory manual says to use "glycerine paste" but that appears to be an extinct dinosaur. I'm assuming Red Rubber Grease would be the modern choice but I would have to order it. Then my FLAPS has several brake part greases that are "safe for rubber." I already have a bottle of Permatex Ceramic Extreme Brake Parts Lubricant (pic below) for reassembling my calipers. Should be rubber safe but not sure it is right for the job. I'm just a bit confused by all the choices. Suggestions? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

QUOTE(rstover @ Mar 12 2019, 09:00 PM)  Maybe research Red Rubber Grease. Old school Yep, Red Rubber Grease would work perfectly. Only problem is that I would have to order it. I'm mainly wondering if any of the several products by CRC, Permatex, 3M and others labeled for brake pistons, seals, and pins that are found at the local FLAPS are an equivalent substitute for good old Red Rubber Grease. QUOTE(lierofox @ Mar 12 2019, 09:57 PM) My go-to for lubricating rubber parts has always been 3M silicone paste. This may have actually been the brake parts lubricant the FLAPS was referring to since I also use it for single piston caliper slide pins. Hmmm (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) Perfect! I have a tube of Permatex Tune-up/Dielectric Grease which is similar and the TDS says it is an excellent lubricant on rubber, plastic, and ceramic parts. I think we have a winner and it was in my tool chest all along. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) |
