I've used "Ru-glide" satisfactorily for my vehicular rubber lubrication needs
for many years, including mounting tires and lubing between leaf springs.
It typical comes in 1 gallon jugs at the more professionally oriented
FLAPs.

&gt;&gt;What's a &quot;safe&quot; lubricant to use on rubber bushings?  I have the usual
&gt;&gt;control arm bushing creak, and I also have a squeaky shifter bushing
&gt;&gt;that's driving me up the wall.
