<VV> Would oil "attack" the rubber bushings?

[Charlie]

Hi Tim ~

Good advice ~

I usually try to worry about just those things that are likely to bite me later, like when I try to the first solution without knowing the consequences.

There are many solutions to every problem, and the trick is to find the solution that does NOT cause another problem!

A little bit of lube goes a long ways. Just clean it off as best as you can after the install and be done with it. If you are looking for things to worry about, just read current events.
