Does anyone who has CHE LCA's know what type of grease that they send for the poly bushings? I remember that it was red but I dont know if that actually means anything. The only reason I ask is because I was going to re-grease the bushings, but I thought that I readsomewhere that certaintypes grease can deteriorate the bushings, so i dont want to go and buy any old grease and have it hurt more than it will help.

 

You need silicone grease. Petrolem based grease will deteriorate polyurethane bushings.

 

Great!! Thank you!

 

So where do we locate this Silicone Grease?

Some auto parts stores will carry it. I bought mine from BMR. (here: http://www.bmrfabrication.com/Universal.htm). You can also try an industrial supplier like McMaster-Carr, MSC, and so on.

I keep two grease guns in my garage. One has standard chassis/bearing grease, the other is the silicone grease for poly bushings. You don't want to get them mixed up!

 

I went to a local Autozone and they had a fully synthetic Mobil 1grease that is what I was looking for.

 

NO...you need SILICONE, not Synthetic. "Synthetic" means synthetic OIL. Oil will degrade the polyurethane.

 

Thats what I meant....sorry about that.
