A- arm bushings
I have seen brass replacement a-arm bushing on e-bay. Will this completely replace the need for the rubber in the bushings. Or does this only replace the sleeve that the bolt slides through. What can a person do to get rid of squeeky bushings. I've tryed WD-40 and nothing seems to work. Taking them apart seems like a lot of work. But if taking them apart and replacing the rubber would do the trick then I suppose thats the thing I'll have to do. I was just wondering if there was a certain lubricant that I could use befreo I go the route of disasembly.

Never spray with WD40. It is a penetratrating product that doesn't lubricate per se. In fact, WD40 is a good way to get rid of a good oil-based grease or lubricant.
Go to a boat store and pick up some synthetic grease that doesn't wash off even in salt water. It will be an almost see-through white color. The one I have has teflon in it too.

Will I need to disassemble the A-arms and remove the bushings? I have read somewhere plus seen an exploded view of the bushings. I know that there is a c-clip inside of the bushing. Am I going to have to take the bushing completely apart to lube it. Also, where do I need to apply the grease. Thanks Alot for your responses.
