Car Accessories

Nolathane car accessories support the long life and quiet operation of your suspension. Our range centres on Nolathane suspension grease, a high-performance grease formulated specifically for polyurethane bushes. It keeps them pivoting freely, prevents squeaks and protects against wear from the day they?re fitted.

Supplied in convenient sachets, Nolathane grease is the same grease used with Nolathane bush kits. It suits workshops, fleet maintainers and home mechanics who want every suspension job finished properly.

Why Suspension Grease Matters

Suspension bushes do their work at the points where components pivot: control arms, sway bars, leaf spring eyes, shackles and more. Every bump, corner and braking event moves these joints.

With the right grease in place, the joints move smoothly and quietly. Without it, polyurethane can grip its sleeve and release in small jerks. That causes the creaks and squeaks often blamed on the bushes themselves, and it wears the bush surfaces over time. Correct lubrication is one of the simplest ways to get the best performance and longest life from your suspension bushes.

How Nolathane Bushes Pivot

Factory rubber bushes are usually compressed or chemically bonded to their inner and outer sleeves. The rubber twists internally as the suspension moves, so there?s no sliding surface to lubricate.

Nolathane polyurethane bushes work differently. They?re mechanically fitted with minimal crush of the urethane, and the centre pin or sleeve is lubricated, so the component pivots freely without restriction. That free pivoting, combined with polyurethane?s ability to hold its shape, delivers sharper handling response and greater suspension control. It also makes the correct grease an essential part of every installation.

Nolathane Suspension Grease Formulation

Nolathane grease is formulated from a reinforced No. 2 lithium complex base, with selected additives including molybdenum disulphide:

• Lithium complex base for mechanical stability, so the grease stays in place within the bush under constant movement
• Molybdenum disulphide for extreme-pressure qualities, protecting heavily loaded contact surfaces and extending service life
• High melting point, or drop point, so the grease remains stable at the temperatures suspension components reach in hard use

The result is long-lasting lubrication matched to the demands of polyurethane suspension bushes.

Choosing the Right Suspension Grease

Not every lubricant is suitable for polyurethane bushes:

• Avoid petroleum-based oils and solvents, including engine oil, penetrating sprays and degreasers. These can damage bush materials or wash away existing grease.
• Avoid thin spray lubricants as a fix for squeaks. They may quieten a bush briefly, but they don?t stay in place under load.
• Use a grease formulated for polyurethane bushes, such as Nolathane suspension grease, for lasting, quiet operation.

Applying Grease to Polyurethane Bushes

Always follow the instructions supplied with your bush kit. As a general guide:

• Clean sleeves, pins and mounting faces thoroughly before assembly.
• Apply grease to every surface where the bush moves against metal: the bore, the centre sleeve or pin, and the flange faces.
• Work the grease into any grooves in the bush bore, which help hold lubricant over the long term.
• Assemble, then tighten fasteners to specification with the suspension at normal ride height where applicable.

Signs Your Bushes Need Re-Greasing

• Creaking or squeaking over bumps, driveways or speed humps
• Noise that?s worse in cold weather, or after water crossings or washing
• Suspension that feels stiffer than when the bushes were first fitted
• Dry, dirty or contaminated grease at the edges of a bush

Re-greasing involves cleaning the old lubricant from the joint and applying fresh grease before reassembly. It?s a quick job that restores quiet operation and protects the bushes from wear.

Convenient Grease Sachets

Nolathane suspension grease comes in single-use sachets. Each sachet keeps the grease clean until it?s needed, and makes it easy to apply the right amount for a bush kit. Sachets are tidy to carry in a toolbox, convenient for roadside or trackside servicing, and avoid contaminating a shared tub in the workshop.

Who Nolathane Car Accessories Suit

Nolathane car accessories suit workshops fitting and servicing polyurethane suspension bushes, and home mechanics completing Nolathane bush kit installations. They?re also used by 4WD, ute and fleet owners maintaining suspension in wet, dusty or demanding conditions, by classic car restorers refreshing older suspension systems, and by anyone dealing with squeaking or binding polyurethane bushes.
