Corrosion Block suspension bushings creak rust salt dot5 silicone
My SoCal 07 developed a suspension creak (like when the driver opens the door and sits down) after a year in over-salted PA. Before first winter, squirted many external and under-hood body seams w/ green color "Corrosion Block." Last week put the winter treads on and added all suspension pivots and visible metal fasteners to the routine.
Not enough use yet to say creak is gone...but it might be. Can't say CB won't hurt rubber, wire, and electronics. But web blurb of Florida company that sells it seemed to imply it might be OK. Smells better than spray mix of new oil cut with old gasoline. (Have also experimented w/ dot5 brake fluid on suspension pivots of two other vehicles.) Did OP try lube on the A-arms (lower control arms whatever they're called)pivots/bushings? |
