The ID Speed is the best around if you need a brac.

bnrodn,

"Super Lube" silicone lubricating grease works well for urethane bushings. Do not use a multi-purpose grease - this type of grease is not silicone based and will ruin polyurethane bushings.

You can buy the silicone grease it on Amazon (and other places). Recommend that you buy a grease gun and a 14 oz. cartridge so the grease can be pumped into the channels of the bushings. Taking the sway bar off to reapply grease is a lot of work (in my opinion), a grease gun makes the job very easy and quick.

HTH.

The problem with SuperLube is it’s not really thick enough and doesn’t last nearly as long as the Energy Suspension silicone grease you can easily get. It’s the industry standard and what pretty much everyone sends out with their bars or bushings. O’Reilly can usually have it same day.

UNBROKEN,

Thanks for the info. Until I started using urethane bushings, I did not know about silicone grease and Super Lube was recommended by one of the vendors so that is what I have been using. Super Lube greased bushings do need regreasing regularly, as you said. I figured this was just part of living with urethane components. I will hot foot it to O'Reilly's and get some E/S silicone grease.

Old topic but I did the JXB install a few months ago. Easy install with a drive up ramp and a T stand. No complaints so far. View attachment 34351

What r the best wheel spacers to buy for my truck.

 

[UNBROKEN]

The best wheel spacers are properly fit wheels. If you’re settling for spacers and going for flush, 1” all around with rear camber at -.5° is flush with the factory 21’s but you’ll need to trim the factory studs for clearance on the back side of the wheel. If you don’t want to trim, 30mm Eibach spacers are the next best option, use the same rear camber number.
Anyone telling you you need staggered spacers or 1.25” or bigger spacers is just selling you a half measure.

Mobil 1 has a synthetic grease and it is red. Motorcraft's PTFE lubricant is also red. Neither of these would be a problem using with rubber or poly. You want to stay away from anything that is mineral based for either rubber and poly. I don't know their effects on other synthetic rubbers. Energy Suspension Ultra Grease (gorilla snot) is by far the thickest and the hardest to get off your hands, so it should last the longest. Over time, all of these lubricants will eventually wash out. It may be years down the road, but when you start getting squeaks out of your sway bars, you know it's time to lubricate them again. Some bars have bushinsg with grease zerks which make the job a lot less time consuming. I'm not sure about the mount bushings, but sway bar bushings will eventually dry out. We get a lot of rain here, so that may be a factor in my case. Poly can also cold flow and become permanently distorted over time, so they should be periodically inspected. I've seen it in aftermarket motor mounts and suspension bushings more than enything. The great thing about many of these options is they can be reversed fairly easily, so don't toss your stock components away.
