>>>WD40 is the last thing you'd want to use, I suspect.   Permatex silver 
anti-seize was favored by Dennis Quella of Pantera Performance Center, but 
most poly bushing suppliers include a small tube of goo.   That stuff is 
available in a larger tube from NAPA, called Syl-Glyde.

But rubber bushings are the way to go for street use, IMHO....

     I'm new to the POCA forum and the e-mail list, and haven't quite
     figured out how they both work.  I posted my question about the
     advantages of Poly on the thread started by John in the forum.  His
     response came in the form of an e-mail to me but doesn't show up on
     the thread in the forum.  My follow on comment was a response to his
     e-mail, John's additional comments and now your statement don't show
     up on the forum thread either.

     >Glad to know Lori was able to change her bushings herself!  Guess
     that will be a winter project for me. I put poly bushings in my BMW
     Roadster and I do have to lubricate periodically to stop the
     squeaking but it always comes back.  I use WD-40 which is probably
     not good for the bushing but I don't know what else to use. Perhaps
     I'll try Wurth HHS-K which is a penetrating lubricant used by some
     for this purpose.
