Re: grease with bushings 200 87

Paul's right on. I'd only add that you can grease the outer metal sleeves where they slide into a bracket or mating fixture, such as with the large trailing arm bushings—grease the metal-to-metal interference fit. It might ease the installation. Also, you can grease a bolt that slides through a metal sleeve—it might make disassembly easier ten years from now when you redo the bushings.

Do NOT put grease on rubber components. Oil-based grease will quickly damage rubber bushings.
