    Squeaky upper control arms on the Camburgs. Plan to shoot some new grease in but wondering what other products people use to lubricate rubber bushings and other suspension parts? I've heard silcone products are best on rubber parts.

    Can you just spray that on the uni ball and the rubber bushings?

    We use tri flow dry lubricant on our Uniballs and Mobil one synthetic grease on the bushings.

    We have zerk fittings installed so you would use a grease gun and pump the grease in.

    Not sure how Camburgs bushings are set up

    Red N Tacky sounds good. I got some Sta-Lube Moly-Graph multi purpose at Harbor Freight where I got the gun but that stuff sounds better.

    Is red and tacky PTFE rated? Didn't think it was which is why I don't use it for my UCAs
