Just found a brand called 'Siberian Bushing' in Canada that seems to have urethane options. Anyone heard anything good/bad please? https://siberianbushing.ca/product/...-30-30-ar900063-oem-5168158ab-5168159ab/ I'm also seeing a few options (not all the bushings I need though) from 'Crown...

Hi all, I need to replace a bunch of suspension bushings (upper/lower control arm) on my 3rd gen Dodge Durango. Dodge doesn't sell the bushings separately, I'd have to buy an entire new control arm with new bushings already pressed in. The old OEM bushings have a chrysler logo molded in to...

Thank you, I'll screw in the fittings and see if I can get grease to flow through the ones that have no groove.

Hi all, I'm replacing some drop links and this is my first time dealing with ball joints that have zerk/grease fittings so I'm not sure if I'm missing something obvious here. The ball joint links came from NAPA, and included grease fittings which install in a pre drilled hole on the side of...

Thanks guys. It's porsche paint (didn't really consider that may make much of a difference). Sections of the paint need refinishing including the stone guard areas of the quarter panels and fenders, the engine bay, front bumper and small areas here and there. The car is white and I've been...

Found an older post here which discussed factory paint vs. repaint durability and finish, and the consensus seemed to be that factory paint is more durable due to the baking, while repaints can achieve a better quality finish. I have a 25 year old car with factory single stage paint, and am...

Thanks for the help all.

I need to repack a sealed bearing in a suspension strut top mount. The bearing has red colored rubber seals, I'm not sure of the exact type of rubber. Since this is a low speed application, is there any specific type of grease I should be using that will ideally be safe on the rubber seal...

I'm sorry, I may have misunderstood something from the whitepaper. Thanks for your patience. In the whitepaper, where it says "Manual Transmission fluids use a different friction modifier specifically designed for synchro engagement, a modifier that does NOT contain the same chemical compounds...

I just read over your whitepaper on the GL4 vs. GL5 and found it very insightful, thank you. With the Motul fluids the only things that concern me is the Gear 300 75w90 LS is a GL5 fluid, and the Gear 300 75w90 'regular' is a GL4/GL5 fluid. I think I'm suitably convinced on the corrosion...

I talked to the dealership service department today and they couldn't really tell me what fluid to use, seeing as it's an older car and they don't really deal with many of them any more. Whether or not I need limited slip additives is the part which has me most confused at this point.

Understood. Is the lack of limited slip additives a concern? I am not sure if additives are more necessary with different types of LSD. I do fully recognize that none of the manuals I have make any mention of needing LSD fluid. I'm also not 100% sure what type of LSD this car has (due to my...

The OEM fluid specs are somewhat contradictory. There were several transmission variants, some with and some without LSD. I have not seen any mention yet of LSD specific fluid (is it unheard of for an LSD transaxle not to call for LSD additives?) My owner's manual (from 1989) says: Hypoid oil...

This is interesting. I didn't realize that there were other drawbacks to GL-5 in a GL-4 application other than the yellow metals issue. Now I have another question then: Are the friction modifiers that make GL-4 behave differently from GL-5 the same kind of friction modifiers that make a fluid...

Hmm. My car has a limited slip, so I'd probably need the LS version of that oil: http://www.motul.com/us/en-US/products/107 Which doesn't look like it's GL-4 rated even though the non-LS version is. I'd be happy using a Motul product (I'd prefer to stick with a major brand name if possible)...

Thanks all. Does anyone know if the motul 300 75w90 ls is safe for yellow metals used in the porsche synchros? I have emailed motul but not optimistic I'll get a reply.

I'm shopping for fluids which are in the 75w90 range, for a porsche transaxle (AOR transmission, limited slip diff). As I understand it, this transmission uses brass components in the synchros, so it's hit or miss whether certain GL-5 fluids will cause corrosion or not. The only GL-4 fluid...
