Hi,
A long time ago, I used to lube all the rubber suspension bushings with "McKay's Rubber Lube". They stayed quiet and in good condition. I can't find that at any of parts stores anymore. They suggest I use the silicon spray, but that's a joke. In a few weeks they start squeaking! I don't want to use petroleum products because they deteriorate the rubber. I did try the "Slick 50 one lube" even though it has petroleum products as it says "safe for all rubber and plastic", but that doesn't work for long either. I've even tried ArmorAll, not very effective. So my question is: Does anyone know if "McKay's Rubber Lube" is available anywhere, and if not, what is effective lube for rubber suspension bushings? Or should I just go with the poly bushings? With zerk fittings?
tia,
Joe
