Want to rejuvenate your car bushings or rubbers, eliminate squeky sounds at your bushings? Try using silicone lubricant. It works by soften back your bushings/rubber to prevent it from deteriorating and crack. I tried it on my car and it works to eliminate squeky sound.

I use the toyo brand (rm13 spray can), went down under my car and spray at all the rubbers, bushings and moving parts i can find and leave it overnight. I use up 1 can 300ml because i spray at a lot of places including my door lining rubbers, engine mounting, absorber mounting etc. Heck even scotty klimer recommends using this product as a maintenance item to prolong your bushings/rubbers lifetime.



Background:

Recently when i switch off my car audio, i can hear some nyek nyek nyek sound coming from my car left rear side. So i did some test by pressing my rear absorbers let it bounce up and down, no sound. But when i push it side to side, can hear the nyek nyek sound. So i suspect my bushings no good d.

Bring to mech, he say ya, your bushings keras d. Need change. If change all around rm1k. He say if one is going, all will go also. I see memang keras a bit, but no pecah yet. So nvm, i bring my car back first since the bunyi very little only. Finally decided to try the silicone lubricant to try to bring back my bushings to working life.

Does it leave any white residue ah?

No white residue. Its colorless and transparent, like water but its greasy la.

hmm.. good recommendation. what is your car brand? 1k ffor all bushing seems okay price

wont it deteriorate ur bushings much faster?

dust and dirt will accumulate at ur bushing and eat ur bushing even faster.

I use WD40 silicone
Lesson learned from using regular WD40.

I use this

https://www.mrdiy.com.my/waxco-auto-silicon...-9930038-001001

But my mechanic said better use wd40 for door squek. But is it safe if i want to use it on other part?

toyo grease good or not ?

use vaseline lulz

Silicone lubricant can use for metal to metal also. Rubber also can. But wd40 normal ones cannot use for rubber

No, the lubricant will form a protective layer around your rubber. Also inside the silicone lubricant has a type of component(forget wat d) that will help prevents oxidation, protects and prolong your rubber life. It also helps soften the rubber so it wont harden n crack.

Normal bushings only. Since our cars have around 14 bushings for the rear for my nissan sentra b13, front less..lets see. 3 front for lower arm each side, absorber link 2. So another 12 at front. Total 26 bushings for my car if not mistaken.

Nice. Where can buy this online? Can share the link?

not bad... i got quoted 1.5k for my dad's honda city. felt like kena scammed a bit

Haha no la. He said over 1k. Didnt give the exact price. I suspect also around 1.3-1.5k after i count my bushings and his workmanship price lol

I bought from lazada 2 cans. Total become rm25 include shipping. So my cost around rm13 per can.
Just type in toyo silicone in lazada and you will see the exact same product for rm10.xx (the one i bought from lol)

Just curious, what happens to your rubber bushings with regular wd40?

can use for the car door rubber seals?

Used to wipe my window mouldings with it after car wash, so it doesn't look as dull. After a few years the rubber became very soft and would just stretch a bit and break when you touch it. Almost like playdoh.

First time i heard of this.. This is a preventive item, recommended 6 monthly do (1 year also ok if lazy).. guess you are overdoing it? How many times car wash per year?

Can.

Silicon based can be used for rubber. If using regular wd40, it will break your rubber. So it can be use to lubricate the rubber. You guys can google it.

That time every 2 weeks.
It depends on the kind of rubber too. Slightly harder rubber on the sides are still fine.

noice. will get it need it for the roof mould and car door seals since I park everyday outside

Haha i done that too. Thats why can use until 1 can finish. Luckily my current car not lowered, so i can just crawl under do everythg too.

Spray your engine mountings and absorber mountings too.

Is that white lithium grease or just silicone grease?

Silicone grease. White lithium macam not suitable for rubber. Its more for metal to metal.

I liek this brand Q Plus

https://shopee.com.my/product/25228563/3400...85-1606452247.9

I use silicone spray for:
Suspension bushings
Shock absorber top mount
Door interior rubber trim lining--improve sound insulation wehh
Exterior rubber strips - roof, window, wiper lel
Power window rubber lining
Bonnet rubber lining

Add on engine mounting. Haha i choose toyo because at the instructions it got specifically say to reduce cracking and splitting for rubbers lol.

How do you apply etc on exterior rubber strips - roof, window, wiper??
Apply using sponge, clothe?

Silicone grease can soften rubber parts, it works great on the weatherstrip as well. Better sound insulation as well

Yes, spray onto cloth, and then wipe on the rubber parts

Spray only. Its in a compressed aerosol can.

Great to know that it can be used on all the rubber parts !! Bought this too for spraying my car timing belt last time but did not know it can be used on other rubber parts

Got demo ?

A caution though. Once u go under the car..u will see something damage most probably. So u will x senang hati if you dont fix it. In my case, i found cracking at my driveshaft rubber boot and also my steering rack cover boot already pecah a bit.
So now im at the workshop fixing it lol

What demo you wan?

the spray on the bushing...

You mean the locations of the bushings ah? The aerosal can just spray like spraying ridsect lol.

If kena water will it gone? Wanna reju my wiper y all outside rubber

Slowly slowly it will gone. Its similar like cooking oil. However it will leave a small coating on the rubber to prevent oxidation. What we really want is the chemical to soften back our rubber. So dont wash it immediately after you spray. Leave it on for as long as u can.

Bro Balanced after i changed my steering rack bush to silicone type, ada this squecking noise everytine turn the steering wheel.

Is it silicone type bush is noisier? I feel regret tho. Shud have buy the rubber type

But im not sure if it is the steering column issue but the squecking noise is loud after changing silicone rack bush

Can advise bro?

The two solid bush wont be rubbing anything, so it won't have any sound if its tight and installed properly. Some other problem..wrong installation? Wrong bushing? Or the squecks come from other place.

silicon spray is short term use no?

Nope. Its maintenance item. Prolong your bushings lifespan.
Just take 30 minutes to spray all je for rm15 cost. Spray twice a year enough.

Sorry not silicone. Polyurethane

I just read this



It does more noisier than rubber

This is a fun topic because there are a lot of misconceptions out there regarding polyurethane and squeaking. But before we address those, here are the facts about a rubber bushing regarding the issue. Rubber is chemically bonded with the outer shell. So from the moment you take it out of the box and install the rubber replacement bushing, you don’t have to worry about squeaking. Squeaking occurs when the bushing rubs against metal. Because the rubber is affixed to the metal and can’t move in relation to the metal, there isn’t an opportunity for squeaking.

i prefer at205 la. but much more expensive.

U need to see the application also. For your steering rack bush, it wont cause squeeks. Like the last sentence in your article explains it.

if the bushing already keras, then nothing to lose la.
but i did notice that malaysia rubber lasts very2 long, so changing to cheap oem part is not a bad idea.

Lools like i need to go back to the woekshop haih

Ya this also can. But i cant find it..any silicone lubricate is ok la

Bro this one can beat AT 205 or not? Cos this one u can dip any hard rubber n it becomes soft again

This post has been edited by jin^manusia: Nov 27 2020, 05:10 PM

Didnt try before at205 so i dunno. All i know is now no more squeeks on my car so i consider it works at least haha

i've tested silicone spray. cannot tahan long as silicone dries up very fast.

that AT205 i know the chemical composition. but the MOQ is like freaking one big ass tong.
when go service car i ask mech to wipe lower arm with AT205

happens to my old udm last time. even ckd also got this problem.

No la bro. Shopee or lazada ada small bottle but expensive la. About rm80. I still have like a third of bottle left.

Edit: oh macam cant find anymore. I bought once.

This post has been edited by cempedaklife: Nov 27 2020, 05:25 PM

i can order one giant ass tong and sell for 20 for same bottle size la
but it's really tong simen size

Same brand? Do forummer share order then distribute.haha.
All i can say is i put on weather strip at door. Fuuuu. Macam new car sound. Less wind sound

same chemical compound. but it's like super big ass tong.
a lot of hassle somemore have to buy empty bottle, fill and post it out

Oh rm20 per bottle how many ml? Good stuff if really can immediately soften rubber that fast. I wan a few bottles too.

I am interested if you are selling !

why the fuck would you care? your car bushings is under the car and your car engine mountings is under the hood.

i think ive used a similar product but for internal - like engines, gear box, etc. it helps to rejuvenate rubber seals to stop leaks. It did work for me.

Its still available but very expensive. This is the more expensive rubber rejuvenator I guess

why some like rm15, some selling at rm30? got fake ones?

https://shopee.com.my/search?facet=16564&ke...f6-b496917567da

Cheap items like this, somemore not famous ones nor is it what most people would wan except diy person like us...no fake one kot. I just buy the cheapest for these type of items haha

thanks...

probably can get one to make my junk kelisa junkier..

oh wait...

Sprayed silicone spray aeound the joints under the steering wheel and the sound gone

Lul no wonder i scratch my head when u say the sound come after steering bush change. Rupanya sound not come from under the car, but inside the car.

Anyway congrats

Will spoil faster. I assume you're talking about wd40 penetrating oil. That one use to clean grease, to free rusted metal can lah.
That's no lubricant for long term.
Wd40 got a lot of products. Even wd40 silicone grease.

This post has been edited by UnknownH: Nov 28 2020, 01:25 PM

Lol yes, the noises was very near to driver side, make no sense of its from the steering rack

Anyway your thread is proven useful already. Please share more ya

What result u get from spraying it to ur rear bushings bro. Any update?

Id advise to cover ur o2 sensor before spraying near the engine mounting

No more squeeks when going over uneven roads/bumps. So far so good.

Which bushing exactly? Upper arm? Lower arm?

Yeah it have risk to make o2 sensor crazy if the whole o2 sensor wiring coated with the lubricant.
But my o2 sensor below exhaust manifold, away from mountings. So its ok.

Its the rear side. I do not know which bushing squeeking, so i spray all the bushings. Its good for the bushings too, so why not sekaligus spray all. But i suspect its the sway bar (is this the name?) Or the absorber link bush squeeking.

Scotty my man

Haha scotty is the legend. Im just another yellow asian guy trying to keep his car well maintained~

Correct me if I am wrong:

Silicone grease is commonly used for lubricating and preserving many types of rubber parts, such as O-rings, without swelling or softening the rubber, but is contraindicated for silicone rubber due to these factors. It functions well as a corrosion inhibitor and lubricant on non-metal-metal contact areas.

So for automobile, which most rubber does contact with metal, therefore have to look for lubricant without silicone.

[edit:] Please read that it's a silicone grease, doesn't mean it's a lubricant for rubber.
It is like this:
Use WD-40 on these rubber then realized that it's not meant for rubber.
Use WD-40 silicone spray then realized that it's not meant for automobile rubber.
In this case, from WD-40 to WD-40 silicone spray it's just slightly better but not correct
Of course when a manufacturer launched a product, they will include as many applications as possible, so be a wise consumer.
Please use proper lubricant for proper rubber lubrication, take it example: Wurth Rubber Care (please google for this product then you will understand).

Sorry to necro old thread, but AT-205 is now almost impossible to find on shopee etc.

will this alternative work? like AT-205 its also a seal rejuvenator so logically can use to prolong and maintain rubber bushings, mounts etc?

Until i sold it on 2021 no sound la.
Now using civic type penipu R.

so i assume you still spray the silicone lubricant on your civic from time to time ?

Can use rubber o ring lubricant people use in water pipe?

I sprayed it when i bought the car for preventive maintenance. But didnt until now after 3 years. I should do it again, thanks for the reminder

U can try and feedback here haha. What is the usage's description?
The best is still at205...but that one very very expensive
