Rubber bush assembly lubricant - What to use?

[Michael. 2313]

G'day guys,

I've been looking around for a suitable product to aid in pressing in my rear end suspension bushes, namely for the subframe etc, is there any particular lubricant for assembly I should be using - one thats readily available?

From what I gather it should be water based, with no solvents, silicones or petroleum bases.

Cheers

For assembling o rings where absolutely no contamination was allowed - water is the only way. it works pretty well if you can't find a non-destructive lubricant.

Used Crc on mine, worked fine. And was told to use it from my workmate that's been racing, building and maintaining racecars for 30 odd years.

I believe that the supermarket has a lube that meets those requirements ;-)

And the lemon scented one makes the car smell nice.....

The warming lotion might expand the arms and are designed to penetrate the bush easily
