Overview
The Daystar Lubrathane Poly Lube 3oz cartridge is a grease, part number KU11004, for suspension components and urethane bushings where water can wash out ordinary grease. It is universal fit, so it is chosen by application rather than by vehicle.
The grease is formulated with Teflon and is waterproof and corrosion resistant. It forms a durable protective film of lubricant that can lubricate, insulate and penetrate the parts it is applied to.
Key features
- Lubricates, insulates and penetrates
- Specially formulated with Teflon
- Creates a durable protective film of lubricant
- Waterproof and corrosion resistant
- Designed for suspension components, especially urethane bushings, where water can wash out grease and cause squeaking
- Limited lifetime warranty
Lubricating urethane bushings
Urethane bushings are firm and long-wearing, but they can squeak when the grease around them washes out. Water, road spray and repeated flexing push ordinary grease away from the bushing surface, leaving metal and urethane to rub. A water-resistant grease that stays in place helps keep the joint quiet between service visits and reduces the friction that wears the bushing faster.
Clean the bushing and surrounding surfaces before applying fresh grease, since dirt mixed into grease acts like sandpaper. Apply a thin, even coat to the contact areas, then work the joint through its range so the grease spreads. Excess grease can attract grit, so wipe away anything that squeezes out past the sealing edges.
Inspect suspension bushings during routine service, looking for cracking, flattening, or grease that has dried or washed away. A bushing that squeaks after greasing may be worn rather than dry, and in that case replacement is the better fix. Lubricating a worn bushing only treats the noise, not the cause.
- Clean contact surfaces before greasing
- Work the joint through its range after application
- Replace bushings that show cracking or flattening
