Replacing 4KQ Subframe bushings.... ARG!

[rob hod]

 Just a quick heads up on that;

 I'd be wary of using detergent as a lubricant. I read a long while ago that
it would cause premature degradation of the new rubber. Unfortunately I
can't remember the stated reason except maybe due to the high salt content
in the detergent.

 I would suggest maybe hydraulic system assembly grease, as thats
specifically for the lubrication of steel and rubber.
