lube for plastic bushings?
 

i am rebuiding my brake pedal assembly. there are 2 plastic bushings that the pedal hangs on. the axle(if thats the right word) that the pedal pivots on was big time sticky. i cleaned it all up, painted it all and got a better set of bushings from another pedal. now that i am ready to re assemble the whole thing, i can't figure out what kind of lube to put on the bushings. axle grease doesn't sound right, or maybe it is... i don't know. what do you guys think?

Vasoline

i love graphite powder.

:agree: use graphite on plastic if you want it to wear quickly

White lithium grease

I used the hi-temp grease, same as the front wheel bearings.....

Howdy; They shouldn't need lube, but silicone spray wouldn't hurt them.

well, without lube, the steel shafts would quickly rust, causing more friction/problems than ever. A little bit of grease (any kind) would do that area justice. BTW: Those "plastic bushings" are still available from GM ( or at least they were 6-months ago)

Hmmm... :crazy: I was going to suggest Rock Shox Judy Butter, used to lube the urethane bushings in mountain bike suspension forks.

yes they are the white plastic bushings.
there was some kind of grease there when i dissasembled it but i don't know what kind. i have some of the lube for poly suspension bushings as mentioned above, i think i will just use a dab of that. it may not be the best, but it'll do i guess.

Dielectric Grease

and how do you apply that lube, LOL!!!
