Hi Everyone!
My CMC on my honda is creaking/squeaking. I can have it swapped (and may do so in the future) but others report the sound comes back. I know it's coming from within the CMC itself. I know this because I sprayed GM SuperLube in there with a straw and the noise went away.... for 2 days. I used SuperLube because it's safe for plastics and rubber. I'm not 100% sure but pretty sure that the Honda CMC uses plastic/rubber.
So, what would be a good grease to use that I can inject into the CMC that is thick (so it lasts more than 2 days) and is SAFE for plastic and rubber?
A lot of people with this problem have used standard White Lithium grease. Some say it lasts up to a year before the sound comes back. I'm reluctant because I've read that for most spray-type lubricants, the propellent is what causes damage and for my tube of White Lithium (non-aerosol) it says "Contains Petrolium Hydrocarbons". Wouldn't this damage the plastic/rubber components?
I'm open to any recommendations!!
