Here is a weird one...

What lube should I use for those bushings @tonered ?
Would this work?

 

Anything. Lithium should work.

 

Sorry.

Had some problems with the wife Forester.

I would just jab my finger in the hole an smear whatever is already in there on the parts just for now?

 

Awesome.

 

Guys this thing may not work without the crows feet!
I have one pair in on the driver's side and I can't get the passenger holes to line up.
From back to front they line up, but the other way, they are way off.

 

Got anything you could use as a makeshift drift pin? I'm sure you've already left the store but sometimes home Depot/Lowe's will have spud wrenches which are similar to the crows foot, basically a crescent wrench where the handle tapers to a point.

 

That’s what she said

 

OP how’s your progress?

 

I knew this worthless preload adjuster would come in handy!!!
Worked like a charm. Underneath is buttoned up. Now time to reluve the bushing.

 

This has to be one of those once in a decade times when TW actually saved someone money.

 

Do you rest your on hand on the shifter while driving?

 

Looks way more lined up down the ol hole!

 

I'm not sure crows foot is the right terminology anyhow. A prybar looks nothing like what we used to call a crows foot. This does:

Tomato potatoe.

 

Good recommendation right here. Everyone who spends time wrenching should own a drift pin. It’s one of the most useful tools in my garage...second only to the dead blow hammer.

 

If you end up getting some eventually, take a look at the ones where you can adjust the angle. Very useful.

I've always known a crow's foot to be a type of wrench, not a pry bar. Basically an open ended wrench attachment for a ratchet or breaker bar

Glad you resolved the issue OP!

 

Where I come from it's both, not officially but colloquially

 

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
