Thanks again for helping this old non-mechanic guy.
Another stupid question, I'm afraid to say.
I've gutted the driver's side suspension down to
the bare metal of the frame.
I have all new upgraded bushings, all new #8 thru-bolts,
all new washers and nuts and I have cleaned all the existing
studs and threaded holes with tap and die.
Questions:
1. Do the bushings get greased before I install them?
2. Do the shiny metal, cleaned threads get some light
oil on them so they do not rust?
3. Since I live by the ocean should I routinely spray
the suspension area with a light coating of anti-rust
liquid like I do my boat engine?
4. Do torque settings change if I oil the fastener threads?
thanks as always,
dale
