Reply to "SQUEEKING POLYURETHANE BUSHINGS"

All,

           Over the last thirty years I can recall these fixes for squeaking polyurethane bushings:

1)  Zerk fittings--- periodically apply grease, the most common fix and seems to work well

2)  Application of anti-seize at the time of installation---I have heard of this once or twice, but I do not know of anyone who has actually done it nor how effective it is.

3)  Graphite impregnated polyurethane bushings---available for years.  I don't know how effective they are, but given the lack of negative reviews, they seem to be a good option

4)  Special polyurethane bushing lube---several years ago a fellow Pantera owner installed the poly bushings and was also sold a packet or two (condiment-sized) of allegedly special purpose polyurethane bushing lube.  It seems to work as I have heard no comments from the owner nor squeaks from the Pantera. 

            I am curious if anyone has any experience with the two uncommon options of using anti-seize or the secret polyurethane lube?

                Warmest regards, Chuck Engles
