Mine has had poly bushes for over five years. Used the lithium grease that came with them, and haven't touched them since.

A geometry check isn't necessary if you do have to lubricate them.

Poly bushes eliminate a number of suspension issues cheaply and easily. They are a must have part

Nike I thought I had some white lithium grease in the garage. Just looked and its not white Lithium its calcium sulphonate based, Ramonol Advanced White Marine Grease.

Is this a similar sort of stuff as the white Lithium grease you use and will it do the same job?

Thanks

I thought it looked like Copperslip on the photos. Yet on the Powerflex web site it says its their own formulated PTFE/Silicone bush assembly grease.

Looks like they might have changed it to Silicone with PTFE.

It was copperslip with mine, but that was about *?£%& years ago now. I think I used red grease last time for no real reason other than I wasnt sure if 'normal grease' would corrode the poly as it does rubber. I suspect not, though. Vaseline, grease, copperslip, whatever I'm sure will be fine.  :)

Rubber is a natural product and therefore susceptible to chemical attack and rapid fatigue in unsuitable applications. Polyurethane, however, is about as unnatural as Angela Merkel and Jimmy Krankee having a baby... And is pretty much bombproof ;)
