Polybush Grease

Post by **Andrew 2.8i** » Sun Oct 20, 2019 10:23 am

Can anybody recommend a grease for use with polybushes.
Apparently, only a synthetic non-petroleum based waterproof grease is recommended.
I thought this might be suitable:

I seem to remember that silicone grease was the recommended lube?

I would think so, I mean polyurethane`s not going to be affected by grease as rubber is, I guess it`s much to do with its water repellent, stay put qualities etc. Silicone is a very good water repellent & general purpose grease.

I just use red rubber grease.

Thanks Paul.
I've got some of that knocking around, but I've also just ordered some of the silicone stuff.

Are you having a big polybushing session on the Capri?

Not quite Paul, it's already fully polybushed. I'm just doing a few bits and bobs at the back end and I'm taking the opportunity to reapply grease to the bushes.
