What's The Best Ra Lubrication Spray??

[JJBENNETT358]

Anyone Know Have Recommendations On A Name Brand Lube Spray For Spraying Ra Bushings????

Aslong as it doesnt break down the bushing shouldnt matter. But lube does attract dust maybee some grease?

 

[F14CRAZY]

Sounds like some type of sprayable, dry lube would work well. It wouldn't attract dust. Sorry I can't name any, though I know that Comet Industries makes some for their snowmobile-type clutches

I my self would just use wd40 or any kind of lube like that

 

[roland m]

I think any spry lube should work i dont think it should matter what it is.

 

[boominXplorer]

any type of silicone spray would be good.

WD 40/PB blaster is NOT a good idea beacuse it is more of a degreaser and will dry out the bushings

Plus WD-40 will wash right off the first time it gets wet.

If you need to lube your RA bushings, they're probably worn out.

And what a lot of people forget is that even new RA bushings can make the popping noises. Part of the TTB front end, they're all that way.

If you spray lube on rubber bushings, it will over time deteriorate the rubber faster.

If you have polys, they can usually survive lubing, and I would use white lithium grease because it's more waterproof. But there again, I don't think lubing them is the answer, if they are noisy it's because of 1 of 2 things: a) the bushings are worn out, or b) the bushings are fine but even new ones will make pop noises some.

I would recommend against lubricating them. For some of the same reasons set forth above, plus it will only attract dirt and grit and hasten their demise. They were not designed to be lubricated. Just keep them in good shape and tightened to spec.
