Hi everyone, first post....long time follower of this forum for answers!
My question is about suspension bushings. Are they generally "Oil-Resistant"? I have just installed Bilstein 6112's on the front of my Tacoma and the rear will be extended length 5100's. I have chosen to use Blaster Corrosion Stop but I generally use Fluid Film for corrosion protection everywhere else. Should I be worried about my suspension bushings on my new suspension components or other older bushings if either product is on it? I have looked for information on Bilstein's website, Tacoma World forums, 4Runner forums, Tundra forums and here to see if the bushings are generally oil resistant, but haven't found anything. I would assume they are oil resistant because of random chemicals and fluids found on the roads. I am worried long term that I am doing damage to these bushings causing swelling or it softening up the bushings in a bad way.
Thank you in advance!
