Lower control arm bushing
While I have not yet purchased the new bushing kit, it seems to me that the design of the bushing, puts rubber to rubber and therefore I would guess a fair amount of friction. The MB manual doesn't spec out any lube for it. Am I not seeing something or will the new part make it more clear?
I would have thought there would be some type of bearing to allow for smooth rotation. While pulling mine it did not operate smoothly at all.
