that you put on your sus bushings to stop it from drying out?

Need to get some for 2nite as the UCA is squeeking as it moves up and down (think its the rubber bushings on the camber bolts)

If those bushes are squeaking, then its not likely to be the rubber, more like metal rubbing(?), which means the rubber could have perished(?).

Are you sure it's not the spring rubbing on something, or the damper?

just to let you guys know, the honda manual actually recommends the use of silicone grease for suspension bush contact areas ;)

I suspect the grease might be meant as an assembly lube (and / or to discourage rust?), because with that 'Silentbloc' type of bushing there are no rubbing surfaces, so no need for lubrication (unless there is something seriously wrong with the bush).
