No lube needed but I recommend you place the bushings in freezer day
before instalation. Use a little dishwashing liquid and they are much
easier to press in place. I used the polyurethane bushing on my 75b and
like them over the V8 ones. Unless you want to change the bushing again
in a couple of years stay away from the rubber OEM ones. Safety Fast,
