With the cold weather I started getting some bushing noise on my hotchkis sways up front. I was curious what other folks with aftermarket sways that replace the rubber bushings with polyurethane are using. I've heard marine lube works well, also hotchkis sells a supergrease, anyone try that yet?
I am still using OEM bushings on my Stillen sways but hit them up with a product called magic lube. It's a gel that's used for pool equipment and PVC piping. Mine have been quiet since install.

Ha!!
Magic Lube is so sticky/good, it takes 20 minutes to wash it off my hands!!!
Thanks, on order are those zerks right angled or do you have to take off that section of the cover to get to them?
If they were installed right, then the zerks will point out, and you can see them from the side. Turn your steering wheel all the way to one side.
Ahead of where the wheel points you, you will see it.
Also the rears should be pointed back.........if installed right!!!

Reason: Added rear note
I've still got my OEM bushings and i just greased up the hotchkis sways with the grease that came with them, and I haven't had any problems. Over a year since they've been installed and I haven't relubed them once
Must be the warmer weather, my front end sound like a just married couple on a spring bed whenever I'd go over a speed bump... all's quiet now, they took a lot of grease.
