why are the inner arb bushes supplied with assembly lubricant ?

is it for ease of fitment or do the bushes have to be lubed to allow
the arb to turn easier inside the poly bushes ,
may be to prevent the bushes getting to hot from friction etc ??
as apparently polyurethane melts with heat and reshapes ? :scratch:

I think it's just so you and everything you touch gets covered in the ****....


it's to lube where the bar goes through, some have it, some don't.

i can fit them without the lube allright :agree:
i also now remember people complaining about noise with poly bushes
when driven hard (arb ends go up and down )

may be the lube is there to stop the noise also ???
either way a little bit of lube never hurt anyone ohh errr :scared:

:laugh:
