As per title really.

Most my S13s suspension arms are now rose jointed adjustable stuff, but i dont fancy the rose joints lasting too long in the UK weather, so how do i protect them?

There are rubber boots available for em yeah? Wheres best to buy them?

Motobike chain lube was also mentioned, does that do the job properly?

Cheers

 

My lower arms on mine are rose jointed I just lube them up every couple of k miles.Works fine.

 

rally des do rubber boots ( i have them fitted to all my rose joints), two ticks and i'll find a pic

 

I can get greig to get you some PX32??

Its a wax coating... basically you spray it on and let dry, covers and protects


used on aircraft up to about 30,000ft


so im sure UK weather will be ok

 

these seem to work quite well

 

problem with spray and grease is that dirt and shit sticks to it and damage or make the rose joint wear much quicker

 

this is a liquid wax.. its drys after about an hour

 

Daz- Lube them up with what mate? I got some baby oil here

Paul- Yeah, shit like thatd do it im sure

Radders- He away from RAF from today till, umm ages, so i think its too late

 

LOL I can get you some if you want, Its no hassle I dont pay for it

 

Ive text him to ask if hes stole any previously, so lets hope so, and he can jus bring it round 2moro

 

LOL

If not, i'll get you some



It comes in 5ltr tins So more then enough LOL

 

Mine fit into the std ford arm like this. I just use some grease.Altho this stuff radders is on about sounds good.

 

Nope, he not got any He did wonder how the hell i knew about military spec stuff tho

Anyhow, i gotta go out now, cheers for help

 

Is that the red stuff Rad? i used to use similar stuff on jobs i used to do at work where threads on jobs would be exposed to the elements the stuff i used came in an aerosol can did the job perfectly

 

Its brown in colour... good stuff though

 

if it dries though, doesn't it then leave a gap if the joint moves?

i would use the rubber boots and fill them with grease

 

Not really... it gets used on all sorts in work, Hydraulic joints on aircraft, never seen it fail


I just worded it wrong LOL


It dont dry dry.. just sets so to say

 

High quality r/j's are self lubricating and need no outer protection
