P80 lube is a godsend for pressing new rubber bushings onto control arms. The company is nice enough to send *free samples* in tiny little plastic tubes, think Neo Sporin ointment, that are enough to last any BMW owner 200k mi worth of suspension component replacement jobs. I first tried the stuff about 5 years ago, to aid installation of rear subframe bushings on my E30, have used it to install 2 more pairs of front control arm bushings, still have at least half a tube left. It's a milky white emulsion, looks like coffee creamer, super slick for a few minutes, then completely dries, doesn't harm the rubber. Be sure to shake the tube before use, it separates over time.
