Installing Prothane Bushings...

[keybrdcowboy1]

So I bought the whole Prothane kit for my 88 Saleen... Only a couple of the included kits came with any of the grease. Am I to assume that I don't need to grease anything for the parts that didn't include any grease? For instance, the front coil spring isolator stuff has no grease included... is it okay to to install it without grease? Same thing with the sway bar end-links... and a few of the others.

And is there any other kind of grease besides their "Supergrease" that i can use? Preferably something I cna buy at Autozone? Thanks for the help!

I had poly in my control arms of my last 5.0. They were great on the interstate but I hated them on roads with potholes. It was a rough ride and the squeaked a lot. I don't know if I'm right but I would use some marine (waterproof) grease on them. I think its in a green tube, if your using a grease gun
Edit: Mine might have been urethane(eng suspension)

Hmm...the whole reason I decided to get the kit was because the car squeaked so bad...I assumed at 24 years old all the rubber was bad. Figured I would just put the urethane in....I don't want more squeaks!

No grease on the isolators. grease all of the other busings- sway bar, control arms. etc. You don't have to use their lube but you do need to use grease specific for poly bushings, you can also buy Marine grease. just look at the tube and make sure it works with poly bushings. Word of advice though. I do not recommend using poly bushings on both ends of rear lower control arms as they tend to cause excessive bind and tear up torque boxes, which is why I use Maximum Motorsports LCA. Same for the rear upper control arms. I leave the stock ones in with rubber bushings.

For the isolators, tape them to the top of the spring so they dont shift around.

Just my 2 cents.
