Subject:White Lithium Grease and Upper Control Arm Bushing
From:Neil N
Date:Tue, 4 Sep 2018 15:36:23 -0700

Hi folks.

This is regarding a temporary repair to binding (stiff to move by
hand) but not "notchy" or loose upper control arm bushings.

I found that once a small hole has been drilled into the bushing,
grease can be pumped into the bushing.

Can anyone confirm if lithium grease is at least somewhat compatible
with rubber and plastic?  i.e. it won't destroy it too soon.

Thanks

Neil.
