Re: Rear leaf Spring bushing lube?

I have used brake fluid for decades to rejuvenate rubber and vinyl pieces. The alcohol softens while the Glycerin rehydrates. Used it on GM and other dash pads, tire sidewalls (heals/covers small ozone cracking), door panels, etc. The secret is restraint! Puting on only as much as can be absorbed within 4 hours and removing the excess with a clean cloth. Using repeat applications sparingly several days apart. Less, longer, and cleaner is better.
I also was raised with RuGlyde! We doused down any rubber bushing, dust cover, body mount, brake hose, snubbers, etc. with every lube job. We also used it as a tire mounting lubricant.
