What can i use to clean the rear bearing and keep it lubed? I dont daily drive the car, but i do use it on the street and the other night i ran into some nasty rain. The rear bearing is a little dirty. Can i use silicone spray or anything?

 

What kind of spherical RTA bushing are you running?

 

most normally take a teflon lube. and wd-40 will attract dirt.

 

i think the new stuff is self lubricating not 100 percent sure though.

 

This might help, not sure though. In the desert when we deploy, equpiment like our forklifts use graphite on the bar that the forks slide wider and closer on. In the states we just use axle grease, but since it is so dusty here the graphite works better and the dust does not stick to it. I am not sure about it waterproof capabilities though. Might work for those bearings. Just an idea.

 

Im running the password kit. I will need to find something at least to clean around them, im thinking a light coat of silicone spray

 

too bad all spherical RTA bushings on the market don't have rubber boots like HardRace's version does.

 

yea, i thought about trying to make something, or looking for some universal boots online, its sad for the price of them that they dont include them

 

WD40 is a solvent not a lubricant...

WD40 is actually a Water Displacement (40th formula) product developped for rockets in the 50s.

 

i was just about to say that tri flow might be ok to use i believe its teflon
