Re: grease with bushings 200 76

posted by  someone claiming to be Jim Baron on  Sat Dec 2 01:00 CST 2000 [RELATED]

The point underlying the first two responses: rubber bushings are not supposed to move or slip at all against metal surfaces: they are designed to absorb the various twisting and compressing forces imposed on them within the body of the rubber itself. If you grease the area where the rubber meets the metal, you create a sliding friction situation which will wear out the bushing very rapidly. This was cussed and discussed recently on the BMW list.
