Is the white stuff a lubricant for assembly or a glue?
Lubricant, probably like a patroleum jelly...Quote:

From my time with Reliant Scimitars which have a lot of those bushing at both ends I have always used washing up detergent to good effect, it dries out with no detriment to the bushings.Quote:

That looks la control arm for a GMC of Chevy Hd 2500 pickup. I've done a few of those recently. I found that tgire bead compound works well. A product called Murphy's soap.
Everybody's wound up about the Boeing using dish soap as assembly lube, but that's a pretty normal thing. I've used it many times and it works well.Quote:
