Hi,
Quick question
Rubber bushes fitted and ready to go on the top and bottom A-Arm shafts.
Preference?
1. Leave the shafts dry
2. Small amount of anti-sieze (copperslip) to stop shafts rusting (but bushes could spin on the shaft)
3. Clear coat (I have POR15 clear coat spray) to stop rusting.

Any thoughts?
My preference at the moment is light coat of POR15. Still plenty of grip on the shaft but with some rust protection.

Thanks
Eddie

The bushes need to grip on the shafts when tightened.....Steve

I lightly copperslip the shafts to help future disassembly and stop the rust seizing process , the bushes are clamped in position end to end on the metal tube insert and do not rely on the shaft diameter.
