I need to replace the radious arm bushings on the the Bronco. I believe that Lithium Grease it the best thing to use to keep them from moning and growning. I would like some imput on the matter.

Good for rubber bushings too.

It wouldn't break down when it gets wet either. I used to us it on my commercial dive gear and it worked great for that also. I might still have some lying around some place.

If I remember right some oils and greases can mess them up. Thanks for the input.
