No lube needed but I recommend you place the bushings in freezer day 
before instalation. Use a little dishwashing liquid and they are much 
easier to press in place. I used the polyurethane bushing on my 75b and 
like them over the V8 ones. Unless you want to change the bushing again 
in a couple of years stay away from the rubber OEM ones. Safety Fast,
