Sway bar bushing installation
I need to replace my sway bar bushings, and purchased Moog k6169, which are marked Ramco. They are black and I think a harder try rubber.
My question is should they be installed dry or lubed with a silicon based grease? |

Re: Sway bar bushing installation
Definitely lubed, otherwise they will squeak and be very annoying

Re: Sway bar bushing installation
Mine came with a little thing of clear grease when I bought the bushings. I assume its a silicone lube.

Re: Sway bar bushing installation
I'd use dielectric tune-up grease (mine is made by Permatex). I've also seen it called silicone spark plug boot release.

Re: Sway bar bushing installation
Thanks for the advice.
Unfortunately when I removed the old ones I found out that the brakets were all bent. So I opted to go with the energy susspension kit, which included a tube of what I think is silicone based lube. |
