Penetrating Lubricant

[OkieHick]

What's the best spray-on penetrating lubricant to spray onto the swaybar bushings? I've looked at the Sea Foam, Blaster, Liquid Wrench plain silicon and WD40. Mine will squawk on occasion...

White lithium grease, any brand.

I wasn't gonna disassemble anything. I had planned to just spray the bushing-bar junction and hope that the stuff penetrates along the bar into the junction.

+1 for white librium grease

I think any spray other than the while lithium grease will silence it, BUT it will start breaking down the rubber shortening the life. The white grease will work its way in, it just takes a touch longer. It is less corrosive though, so it is worth the wait for silence.

What he said. The best way is to take the bushings off and coat the inside with a silicone grease. I use Motorcraft Brake Cailper Slide/die electric grease.

Those other sprays are temporary mainly because most are water based and will wash off in a good rain....
