New Front-end Bushings - Lubrication???

[RandalPark@xxxxxxx]

I don't use anything on them. What tears them up is all of that motion and 
weight. Unfortunately, it just happens that a big part of maintaining Torsion 
Bar Imperials is having the bushings replaced periodically. The OZONE in the 
air in Southern Cailfornia had a devastating effect on the '60 Imperial that my 
folks bought there new. I don't believe that there is anything that can stop 
that, or the normal wear and tear on these parts. I have heard some people say 
that they spray them with ArmorAll, but I have also others say that is a bad 
idea.
