1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

Has anyone worked with polyurethane bushings? Am replacing rear control arm bushings on the GX and was curious about the lube situation.

Option #1: lube the fuck out of everything.

Option #2: per @Timmah! on his T4R bushing replacement, he said to insert bushings dry into control arm and then lube inner diameter and bushing exterior face.

Curious what others have done and if they've dealt with loud bushings due to grease issues.

 

when I use them on leaf springs I lube them before installing them in the eyes and I'd probably do the same if I was doing a control arm set.

 

I think people had more sex before the internet.

 

Likely.

 

Perhaps

 

i really really need to find that motivation that i left somewhere

 

What needs to be done?

 

Thats why my work wallpaper is all vacation pics. work to live and all that.

need to write up a review for my manager first and foremost

 

Awe shit, the one that refreshed?

I had that happen on something important; made me so paranoid, every few paragraphs I'd select all and paste to clipboard as a backup.

Still do it to this day

 

Guy bitches about backordered shocks not being delivered on the scheduled date.

Calls hundreds of times a month after.

The gotcha? He was never even charged anyway

 

Use a PTFE silicone based grease for poly bushings. Its usually white/clear

I've always greased the inside and outside of them but I've never done them on control arms myself, not sure if it calls for something specific

 

Yeah, I withheld commenting that one after checking on Company he was bashing.. FRIDAY

 

The stuff Sergio recommended is the only stuff I use



Worked great on the Whitelines I installed on the Tacoma LCA

 

Yeah that's a proper poly bushings grease, same with the Energy or Daystar stuff. They each probably tweak the formula a little

 

Hmm

 

Yeah I remember using the Whiteline grease only to notice it didn't adhere to the poly bushing anywhere as well as the Prothane Super Grease.

 

How would you label that on your spending record when you and your wife compile your receipts for the month

"Recreational" ?

 

You just can't get buttholes off your mind huh?
