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.

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

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.

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?

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.

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.

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

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

Spray only. Its in a compressed aerosol can.

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?

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

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.

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.

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