Grease for swaybars

May 06, 2004 4 Replies

My swaybars are really squeeky. What kind of lubricant should I use on the bushings?


Boat trailer wheel bearing grease.

Lanny, Won't the petroleum base attack the rubber? I assume you chose boat bearing grease since it is somewhat waterproof?

It would if the bushings were rubber. The squeaky ones always seem to be aftermarket urethane items.

There are also synthetic greases. I suspect even the OEM bushings are actually not natural rubber, but butyl or neoprene.
