Default oil your bushes
Hi all its deep winter and there is salt all over the place attacking the metal
to stop your alignment bushes siezing up , better lubricate them
cost is about 600 per wishbone if they sieze up!
you have been warned
cheers

How do you oil bushes? Oil will kill bushes, plus mine go dorment in the winter time.

WD40 is good to use on bushings, it will not harm them. Just a little external coating to prevent corrosion.

I've had to cut an a-arm from the car because of salt. The ecentric was frozen solid.

Who's talking about bushings in this thread? We're talking about bushes.
