I don't know why the mechanics were using the Petroleum jelly on bushings, O-rings etc. since it degrades rubber. There could not have been much left on the bushing since I could see it being expressed as I pressed the bushing in. Not sure if our bushings are latex since that is definitely degraded by it.

Next time I'll use the silicone jelly!
