Watched a guy at the Napa show use dish soap to lube his poly bushings, and they squeaked in 2 weeks
Everyone says use the silicone grease that comes with the kit, but he swore soap was fine and now his front end sounds like a duck. Anyone got a trick for pressing those things in without ruining them?
I tried the soap trick on my old truck's sway bar bushings back in high school because I was broke and too cheap to buy the right stuff. Worked great for about a month, then every bump in the road turned into this awful creaking noise. My buddy still gives me crap about it every time we work on cars together. For pressing them in, a big C-clamp and a little dish soap just on the outside edge works fine, you just don't want that stuff staying in there long term.
