    Best lube for rtabs

    What is the best grease or lubricant to use with the rear trailing arm bushings?

    I used the copper based lube that came with my poly bushings. Looks similar to the loctite anti-seize copper lube #38650

      I don't see where you specify what bushings you are using. Stock rubber only gets a water based lube to ease installation and settling before it dries.

          Silicone grease of any type. Other greases can deteriorate the poly.
