Ok, I just finished installing my new rear Roush shocks and springs and my new BMR Adjustable PanHard Bar. Before I realized I needed to lube the BMR PanHard Bar with Silicon grease, I had already squirted Moly Lithium grease (which is what is in my grease gun) into the BMR PanHard Bar.

Will this hurt my bushings or affect my BMR PanHard Bar in anyway? It is already installed and lubed with the Lithium grease, so there isn't anything that I can do about it now, but I am curious to know why BMR listed Silicon grease rather than the typical Lithium grease?

Thanks.

BMR says use "synthetic" grease if you cannot attain silicone

I used Super Tech Moly Lithium Grease. I took it for a test drive and all is quiet. I hope it will be all right, but I have heard that Lithium grease will deteriorate the Ploy bushing. If this is true, I wonder how long it will take before I experience any problems?

I used the same in my LCA's and haven't had any problems so far. I couldn't find anything that said synthetic at autozone or advanced.

Thanks for the info DarkFireGT. How long has it been since you installed your LCA with the Moly Lithium grease?

If it does affect the poly bushings, hopefully it will at least takea while before any problems occur.

I guess if and when any problems with the poly bushings do occur, I will just buy another Adjustable PanHard bar and install it with Silicon grease next time.

But hopefully it will take quite a while before any problems show up.

I e-mailed BMR and they saidthat I should replace the Moly Lithium grease with Silicon or Synthetic grease as soon as possible. They said that it might take a while, but the Lithium grease would eventually deteriorate the Ploy Bushings.

So I took apart the bushings and cleaned off all the Lithium grease. Then sprayed them with silicon to remove any degreaser, and finally re-greased the ploy bushings with "Green Grease" Synthetic grease.

The Moly Lithium grease was only in for 4 days and 70 miles so hopefully no damage was done.

You are fine and no damage should have been done!
