Bushings

[Brian Devlin]

My only BTDT is that new OEM bushings are better than wron OEM
bushings (duh). I heard that is a lubricant that will silence squeeky
(urethane?) bushings, so that shouldn't be an issue. I'm pretty sure
Klaus and Fritz knew what they were doing, but then one of them must
have designed those door handles.
