Hi all,



Did a search but could not find anything.



Is there any recommended product for lubricating the OE suspension bushes? Mine are getting quite noisy as the weather get warmer.



I was concerned about applying WD40 or grease or other oil based product in case it rots or dissolves the rubber bush. Also, what is the best way of applying?



Cheers,



Rob

You can buy a rubber grease specially for this (it's normally red in colour). Just go any motor factors and ask for rubber grease.

Will Silcon spray work?

Think Silicon will degrade the rubber. I was warned off that by my garage.

I was always told that waxoil was good for this.
