Do you have to lube NEW Nolothane bushes when you fit them?

Post subject: 
Yes and the Lube should be provided also

Without it they will squeak incessantly & wear much faster.
The lube makes them easier to fit too.

In my experience, even lubed Nolathane wears faster than rubber does.
Issy knows best... :wink:

oh yea....it's got lube in the pack! :lol:

Issy may well have known best....but those standard lower control arm bushes with the metal in the middle are a real pain to get off when they rust on! :evil:

.... Maybe so, but the Nolathane ones are sloppy when new, and as the lurethane `flows' under load, they get sloppier... :lol:
The rubber ones with the metal spacer constitute a `live' rubber bush when tightened up. The nolathanes do not locate near as well. :wink:

Agreed. Go rubber.
