That's what i did.
I used teflon tape and white lithium grease.
Works really good.

You wrap the RSB about the width of the bushin', and then put on white lithium grease, or suspension lube on the bushin', and then place the bushin' back on the bar, and then bolt the bushin' mount back on.
That's all.

Teflon tape is used in plumbin' to seal the area between the thread of 2 joinin' connections.
It's also somewhat used on boost/vacuum gauges too.

So today I changed the RSB to the track setting and rubbed the bushings down with Mobil 1 synthetic grease that my friend had in his garage.

Long story short, it handles so siiick now!
