<VV> When oil attacks ~ WD-40 is the "DucTape" of the lube world?

[Charlie]

Then WD-40 would still top the list, especially since it's in that box of
"stuff you probably already have"?

Actually, the best stuff is "Ru-Glyde" it is used for tire mounting onto
wheels. It is available in a concentrate, but likely more product than you
would use in ten lifetimes. Maybe available - a little bit - at a tire store
near you. Check it out on Amazon.

Lots of great ideas ~ 

I like the WD-40 best, but will test them all on each of the 4 bushings (oil
worked great on one so far, but it was a bit messy!)

I've heard that WD-40 revitalizes rubber, so that seems to have the least
downside?

Full report when I get them all done ...

I use WD40. It seems to "go away" shortly after it does its job.
