[Note: Use assembly lubricating oil G 294 421 A1 when pressing in.Mixture ratio of lubricating oil to water: 1:9.This lubricating oil is acid-free and penetrates into the rubber after a short time (by diffusion).It leaves a slightly sticky film, which ensures firm seating of the bush.Most conventional greases/oils contain acid and cause a film of lubricant to form.This may affect the rubber, or cause the entire bush to twist in the wishbone instead of flexing when the suspension compresses and rebounds.]
