After reading the FAQ (after the fact) about replacing front radius arm busihings, I see the caution not to use grease on rubber bushings because that will tend to degrade them.

That's contrary to some advice I have seen where the application of nickel-based anti-sieze was suggested as a remedy for squeaking sway bar-to-frame bushings.

So, I followed that advice and lubed the POLY radius arm bushings with anti-sieze. I also lubed the insides of the *rubber* sway bar-to-frame bushings with anti-sieze.

Did I do wrong?
