Autotech Poly bushings for the A1 chassis...

[fahrvergnugen at cox.net (David Utley)]

SO far, it sounds like no one has used the Autotech mounts.  I was very keen
on finding out if they squeaked or not, I don't believe they offer a lube
with it.

I did think of a keen way to keep them lubed, hopefully Dan will offer an
opinion on this idea; instead of grease that will prolly dry-up over time,
what about using molydenum disulfide powder?  It is very popular in gun
circles for lubrication on bullets.  I thought of this as way to lubricate
it permanently; I don't want to have to do this every year or something and
I spent so much on Dynamat I don't want to waste all that work...

Any other experiences out there?

David
