What kind of lubricants/grease/oil do you use to keep your bushings from squeaking and creaking? also, are there any spray lubricants like wd40 that would work well so my lazy butt won't have to undo any bolts to get to the bushings to grease them up good? thanks
 






Thats a damm good question mine are beginning to creak alot now that it is getting colder. I am getting a clunk from the front right in bad bumps, like a shock bushing going out? Well I have 85K and stock shocks so we might be replacing them along with the bushings.
 






yup. got 70k on mine with stock shocks. they're not doing too well either after my 2" lift. anyone lube their bushings??
 






I use Sil-Glyde(I think thats the spelling) from NAPA, probably a bit cheaper than the di electric tubes(I use the di electric for plug wires etc.)I use it on the caliper slides also. I have poly bushings so I dont know how it would work with other materials.
