Best grease for wishbone bushes?

Just wondering what the best grease is to use for the crush tubes on the wishbone bushes.

Cheers

Adrian

Did you not get any grease with the bushes at all?? Obviously not superflex ones you have - so poly bushes of some other make??

Polyurethane or PTFE grease is what you need (logical really). Dont use a petrolium based grease at all as it will eventually degrade the poly bushes

I used silicon grease which didn't really work - they creak like mad!

I've heard of Coppaslip being used to good effect but haven't used it myself.

I originally used silicone grease but mine also squeaked like mad. Took them off and re-greased them with copper slip and have been fine since.

Rubber grease from your local motor factors . Make sure you have no issues with the crush tubes being too short before assembly
