Just wondering about relubing the oem rubber bushes Davex3. How do you do that? From discussions on here it seems that you virtually destroy them when taking them out..

Im under the impression that oem rubber doesnt pivot at all. As in, there is zero slipping surfaces, therefore lubrication will do zilch.

This. The rubber flexes to allow movement. Hence it is important to not do up the bolts until the weight is on the wheels.
