Re: Grease for poly bushings

Use white lithium grease, readily available at most parts stores as a GP lube. Apparently it's not destructive to poly and is water resistant.

FWIW Morten is in Denmark...

Morten, What's the offroading like in Denmark ? Is it there easy access or is it all locked down by legislation ?

Yep, correct.

There are only very few places where one can go offroading - and even fewer where it can be done legally :-(. A few times a year it can be done legally on the militarys practice areas when one of the clubs makes a deal with the military for a weekend or so. Apart from that it's mostly done "more or less legal". The place my club has used until now has just been sold for "recreative purposes" - i.e. golf etc. I think offroading is an excellent kind of recreation, so I guess we can still use it! :-)
