OK, it's my turn. . .I remember a while back a discussion about what lube
to use when installing poly bushings to prevent squeaking/groaning (the
car, not the person installing them :-).  I was planning on using a moly
lube, actually assembly lube since it contains anti-sieze and moly.  These
are poly bushes from BPN, not Nylatron or other such material.  I heard my
Spit do a terrible groan, and clunk while pulling out of the Post office
yesterday and upon inspection, the rear lower trailing arm bush
disintegrated and the bolt/sleeve was riding on the A arm itself, so you
know what I'll be doing this weekend!!  Well I admit, it has been a long
time since I replaced them.  Any pros/cons on using this particular
lubrication??
