Default Headlamp door bushing replacement
I am getting ready to replace all of the bushings in my headlamp assembliies and was wondering if the bushings go in dry or if there is a recommended lubricant for them. I'm sure if they are "greased" that they will collect dirt and start sticking. What is recommended? Thanks

I would think a dry bushing will be okay but you can use a light dusting of a powder lubricant if you feel more comfortable doing so.
