Those many silicon filled bushes
 

Did my third oil change today @ 11525 miles. Whilst under there I give the vehicle a good seeing to , inspecting most items.

Well, noticed the front sway bar bushes appear to have leaked silicon . I'm thinking this is relatively normal as on my first oil change the other bushes further back (forgot name ) also looked as if they had leaked.

I dont believe those bushings are silicone filled. That is more likely grease from assembly that is working its way out. If those bushings were not greased they would make a creaking sound as the sway bars moved. You may even have to grease them in the future if they get noisy. Nothing to worry about.

Thanks for the reply. Its something definitely making its way out. As the car gets older I'm see more of this. Drives good though.
Reason I thought it was silicon was it wasn't oily.

Yea the stock bushings are full of a 'paste', nothing is leaking.

Thanks guys.

:iagree: They are NOT silicone filled. Just a rubber bushing.

Would anyone know which bushes are silicon filled then?

IIRC, the one on top of the differential is silicone-filled. Don't know about any others. FSM/CourtesyParts/&c should have that info.

On the front lower control arm. The large rear bushing. ;)

Got any pics?

The only pic's I got, is in my thread. I don't have any of the OEM's, only the SPL's.

Here is mine, was like this on both sides from 2300 miles . probably the lubricant they used to press it in? Its definitely not oil.
