Poly Bushings
Sunday, July 12th, 2009Is it ok to use an anti-seize lubricant on poly-urethane bushings for easier assembly?
Or will the anti-seize eventually “eat away” at the p.u. bushings in the long run.Lets hear from you pros out there–i know you’ve delt with something like this before!!–Thanks
Basically i’m tryin to say that i have already used the anti-seize lubricant to install the item.I just want to know if i should take it back apart to remove the anti-seize.I dont want it to eat away at the p.u. bushings.
I have always used WD-40, or silicone lubricant in a tube. I don’t see any reason anti-seize couldn’t be used, and there is nothing in it that would harm the bushings. Poly-urethane bushings are a pain to install, and they are very hard to install. WD-40 will lubricate them, but it dissipates, and only leaves some silicone residue. The stuff will make the poly-urethane soft for a little while, and allow ease of installation. Anti-seize takes up space, and space is what you need to assemble them. Try the WD-40 and you might also heat the bushings in an oven at 110-120 degrees to make them soft.
The best advise I could give you, is go to the manufacture web site and pull up their recommendation’s for installing them. I know some people say not to use WD-40, but to be honest I have seen some bushings that would not go any other way. If you can; use a silicone grease, and press them in with an arbor press or vise. Petroleum based lubricants doesn’t harm rubber if it dissipates. There seems to be an awful lot of gasoline going through rubber hose on cars and they last for years without any problems. It depends on if you want to get them together, or you want to wish you could get them together.
Glad I could Help. Good Luck!!!
