It helps ease installation, prevents squeaks, and minimizes wear between mating surfaces without attacking the polymer body. The non-reactive formula is intended for use where polyurethane meets metal or plastic, providing a thin, durable lubricating film that supports long-term performance under road and track conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does Formula 5 make installing polyurethane bushings easier?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFormula 5 prelube reduces friction during assembly so parts slide into position cleanly, lowering the risk of rolling, tearing or misalignment.
