Polyurethane Bushing & Chassis Grease
Before I go purchasing a tube of this stuff direct from spohn @ $22 shipped to fix my noisy torque arm https://ls1tech.com/ubb/ultimatebb.p...;f=25;t=001055
Does anyone here know exactly what kind of grease they use or what is good to use to lube my torque arm crossmember bushing and torque arm bushing?
Thanks.

Re: Polyurethane Bushing & Chassis Grease
Checked on that grease it has petroleum in it. Spohns website says not to use petroleum based grease <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> -- I checked on mobil 1 grease today and it doesn't say anywhere on it that it is petroleum based, but it does not say anything about NOT being petroleum based either. <img border="0" alt="[fight]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_punch.gif" />

I've had the discussion face to face with the people here at BMR and the advice is to use the Marine grease stuff. The statement turned to the grease that you get at the Marine stores for the trailer buddy bearings.

Like the post says. The people at BMR that manufacture and sell LCA's, PHR, etc. with the poly bushings told me face to face that is the stuff to use on the poly bushings. You don't regularly lube the rubber bushings.

Re: Polyurethane Bushing & Chassis Grease
I've always used Dow 111 on my poly bushings.
It is 100% silicone...no petroleum whatsoever.
Very slippery and repells water. Actually it could be used for rubber bushings as well. It won't attack buna rubber either.
Can be purchased at most bearing supply houses.
ie: Applied Industrial Technologies
(formerly "Bearings, Inc.")
