Just wondering about relubing the oem rubber bushes Davex3. How do you do that? From discussions on here it seems that you virtually destroy them when taking them out..

Im under the impression that oem rubber doesnt pivot at all. As in, there is zero slipping surfaces, therefore lubrication will do zilch.

I may be wrong but don't the wishbones pivot on the bolts within the hollow metal tube that goes through the middle of the rubber/silicon/urathane bush?

This. The rubber flexes to allow movement. Hence it is important to not do up the bolts until the weight is on the wheels.
