After watching your video, I tried this on my 2017 Chevy malibu as I have 1 bushing on the rear passenger a arm that is SUPER squeaky and is very loud and EXTREMELY annoying. Bought 2 bottles (which cost 27.99 each now) and sprayed the piss out of that bushing. Let it sit 2 and a half days without moving my car. Got in it to go to work, and it was still kinda squeaky. I thought it didn't work and decided to spray it again after I got home that next morning. Well I didnt get that chance because after driving 82 miles to work, I realized THE LOUD ANNOYING SQUEAKING WAS NO MORE! It literally doesnt make a single peep anymore. Im sooooo grateful I found your video. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! My boyfriend thought I wasted my money and your video was probably doctored until he didnt hear my car squeaking leaving the house and then pushing on my rear of my car bouncing the back end to try and make it squeak. This stuff works, even if I have to spray it again in a couple months, its freaking worth it! Again, THANK YOU!
Thanks Matt. I saw this on Kilmers site, but you showed before and after. I just came in from doing the wife's Santa Fe. It was very loud! Can't wait to see if this fixed it. I'll let you know!
@@MattsFinds well Matt, I just got back from taking the wife's Santa Fe for a test drive. Not a single peep out of it. One bottle took care of all of it with a little bit left over. Since it's got McPherson's struts I guess there's a lot less bushings with that type of suspension. But did the lower control arms and what I believe was the main problem, was the sway bar bushings. Everything else got a good spray just for good measure. Again, great video and thanks for seeing it all the way through to the end. So far I'm happy, but if it starts squeaking in a relatively short time, I'll definitely keep you posted.
@@user24657b hey, I do not have any squeaks that have come back. Which has been pretty amazing. Very pleased with the outcome. Just a word of warning, I had a little leftover and it works so well in rejuvenating the bushings, that I tried it on a couple of plastic reflectors that were starting to get hazy, and it totally turned them white! Do not use it on a piece of plastic. But for the squeaks, it's been a total fix.
I've been using AT 205 ON MY 2008 HYUNDAI SANTA FE for the last 3 years on all rubber bushings & CV boots as preventive maintenance once a year to rejuvenate to extend the life of the rubber.
About to try this now, but if more than one bottle doesn’t do the trick, is it the bushings themselves that need replaced or am I looking at a suspension overhaul here? Trying to not spend $300 per wheel on springs and such but that’s already been suggested to me
It's a temp fix that last a while. I went about a year before they started squeeking again. Replacing the bushings itself is the best bet. But like you said it's better than spending 300 bucks right away. And it depends on the condition of your bushings, if they are torn and worn I'd replace them. If they are decent looking just squeeking a lot Then use this method. Good luck
Well, gonna have to try that out. Shouldn't take a whole lot on the toys to rejuvenate and keep them quiet. But, if it gets rid of stiff and hard, not sure that's gonna work for her.
Do you clean the bushings before applying? Soapy water etc? I have silicon spray applied a week before and wondered if this would affect the absorption of AT205 for my '94 E220 Mercedes Coupe. Thanks from Australia
Don't use silicon spray anywhere near or around your air intake. Even when it's dry silicon particles can dust off and get sucked into your intake. It will most definitely kill your catalytic converter.
Sorry, I saw a comment by the actual ATP rep on another video who said it WILL work on bushings, etc. but will wash off in the rain, and also dissipates quickly when exposed to air (as opposed to being used in oil for leaks where it is inside the closed crankcase system.)
ATP-205 helps rejuvenate the rubber, after that you want to use a Silicone spray to keep the rubbers well lubricated, I have used Permatex and WD-40 Silicone sprays and they work well.
Yeah, i have been wondering about the longevity ( i.e. weakening) of the rubber after using a grease injection needle multiple times. The videos i have seen say to use silicone to seal the hole but what happens to the rubber if you're injecting grease every 1-2 years and making a new hole each time...
@@mpcp27it will be ok. I have one with a giant hole in the fitting. Every oil change I stick a blob of grease in there. It's lasted 8 years like that and still no play
May I suggest more of a stream spray directly at the rubber itself, or syringe squirt. That shit is expensive and you'll waste it by using a fine spray.
Pretty much any store has them that has cleaning supplies like Walmart, Lowes , dollar general. I believe I got mine from dollar general for like $1.50
? so no need to mix it with water as another video stated ? you are spraying it on full strength ! how long did it last before it started squeaking again ?
Your volume in the recording is horrible for the rest its very good, keep it up. ps. whats the part bumber? the have many different ones with the same name
That wasn't a CV axle. It was a steering rack inner tie rod boot, which is actually more plastic than rubberand not normally an issue. That said. If this stuff works as good as they say it does on rubber, then YES it would work great on CV boots! I'd guess that a once/year spray on a CV boot (especially boots located near high heat like catalytic converters) would be an excellent preventative measure for cracked boots. Great vid bro!
Thanks Tim . This stuff works great especially the longer it can soak before driving. I had no creek noises for about a year before I needed to reapply
Once a year on non-grime covered rubber will soak in nicely. Once a year is MUCH better than never. I've been using on my 2005-06 Tundra for several years occasionally and since, especially on New Parts for initial conditioning, the Hoses. Bushings. Bump Stops, hood seals, etc have remained nice and pliable. Only poured it into Oil and also Power Steering pump once as preventative when began using(Thanx Scotty!). Probably time to do it again so will. Just was under truck replacing splash guard so got whole thing AND engine bay rubber. Letting it sit a couple hours before top down bay paint rinse. Since not petroleum based it should be fine.
if you look good at the video he is missing a bottom sway bar bolt on the first bracket that he spay ! thats probably where the squeaking is coming from 😁
Grinding and squeaking are two different sounds lol . It was definitely my bushings all squeaky. The missing bolt really didnt affect the bushing behind it, since the other bolt kept it from moving around, but all of that stuff has been fixed since I made the video
It’s cost is more than twice as much now since the Covid pandemic I use to get for 10 bucks at my local car quest auto parts store now it’s over $21.00
My son just bought a 1989 GMC but they Jasper 305 motor in it and the truck is in the nicest condition I've ever seen a truck that's that old and has a rear main seal leak and our mechanic told us to use that but I've also read reviews where people said it made things worse and ruined their engines but we still think we want to try that we're just on the fence about it. Do you believe those are real reviews
I honestly dont know about how it works in an engine. But in my own opinion I'd rather replace that seal instead of throwing liquid tricks at it. Some of that stuff works some doesn't
A few days ago I poured a bottle in my oil crankcase because I have a rear main seal oil leak I'm my 2008 Toyota Sequoia Limited with over 210,000 miles,hopefully it works,I've heard really good reviews on it,hey for $20 a bottle I really don't have anything to lose,Toyota wanted $3680 for the repair,a couple of other mechanics wanted $1500,the seal only cost about $40,it's the labor that's expensive...
That's exactly what I use on my upper control arm bushings . But it takes about 2-3 applications before it fully gets deep. I have to do it once a month though.
in Australia it's $58 AUD from Amazon.. Do you clean the bushings before applying? Soapy water etc? I have silicon spray applied week before and wondered if this would affect absorption of AT205 for my '94 E220 Mercedes Coupe.
That looked waste when most of what he sprayed spilled on to ground. Would AT-205 work if you dilute it? I mean if they dilute it 1/32 ratio when put it into the motor, why not with an outside rubber? It would safe a money.
Be sure that you have real rubber and not the newer polyurethane kind. It also helps to let it soak in for a couple of days before driving collecting water and dust etc.
I mean yeah I could but I only drive that truck to go to the lake with the boat and kayaks or picking stuff up that won't fit in my car. Other than that it just sits in the driveway. I haven't had any noises since doing this two years ago
You can no longer buy At-205 at any automotive store - Amazon - Walmart - Ebay - I call the company and they don't even make or no when they might make it.
@@MattsFinds Check Advance Auto Parts. A lot of their stores just restocked it. I wouldn't necessarily blame the manufacturer... almost every product out there, the supply chain is really screwed up right now...
yes I've been waiting for one to come in at my local lkq but since then I have fixed the bolt missing, the threaded square broke off. so replaced it, got new brackets bolts and bushings now
That's what I say, buy another, but, it's a Dakota, don't believe anything will keep mine from squeaking. Other than replacing every rubbur piece under it. Mines a 2004 with about 210,000 on it. Decent truck, just little crap. Especially those rocker arms that like to pop off on the 4.7 v8. Pain in the A$$ on the driver side, and can't say much better on passengers. Those engineers are a piece of work. Hope my new 23 4runner is a bit more user friendly. However, sucked on the first oil change at 1,000 miles. Remove the entire skid plate to get to the filter. Who designs this shit.??
It's a pet peeve of mine also for sure. I miss pre 96 vehicles because they were So easy to work on. I love my Dakota though it's my fishing, hauling, hunting, pulling truck that I dont mind getting scratched up. Have a good day brother
also use a lift to take load off joints so the liquid can get in fullly and the boots and tops of struts under hood every freaking part IM sur[prosed that truck uses these rubber bushings heavier suv;s and trucjs are supposed to have the steel ball joints you llube evry year like we did wiyj older cars 70 80 models today so many computer parts and god forbid the moudule goes bonkers cptm one that has all the chips relays etc... that cost like $1000 and you need to get it programmed dunno what that cost sigh give the old 4 dor sedan ok they do not stop as weel as the newr ABS systems but just drive slower in rain or light snow beef up suspension too hevaier shocks all weather tires wide deep treads
Update: first day there wasn't really any noticable change in squeaking. Today, however, the squeaking is COMPLETELY gone! It's a miracle! Thank God, thank you and thank AT-205 Re-Seal! The stuff is pretty expensive but totally worth it.
It's nice but its a cover up if the bushing is squeaking its worn out no question about they need replacing this stuff is a use car dealer fix. you can't fix broke ! Sorry
I agree it's a cover up even stated in the video it's not a permanent fix, but it works if you got a hot date coming up and don't want to sound like a slinky pulling up
That's probably because they just want to sell you cheap knock off and squeeze more money out of your pocket. The real geniue products that actually work best are kept hidden from the consumers.
Note: AT-205 RE-SEAL, do NOT give it 5 hours. Drive it immediately. Ideally you'd pour it in while it's running. This will melt paint off your oil pan (if you have a painted oil pan, curse the OEMs who do) if you don't mix it into your oil by running your engine, then it will clog the oil pickup screen and kill your motor by reducing your oil pressure to 0
Maybe try reading the title or watching the video before commenting. I never added it to my oil crankcase, this isn't what it's being used for in this video it's being used to help soften the rubber bushings on suspension components.

Does it work?
Dodge has the best suspension to try this on. I used this on my work truck which is a Ram and it helped. Thanks for your time and video
Thank you Silver Dollar I appreciate it.
And those damn ford big body’s crown Victoria and mercury marquis lol they’re notorious
Very helpful. Nice looking truck. I sprayed my SUV today. You're right, wear SAFETY GLASSES.
Safety first, you only get two eyes in life
Also, don't forget to grease those those a-arm bushings, you can see they have grease zerks to lube the inside metal bushings 👍🏻
Definitely
What's the best grease to use on sway bar links? My sway bar links have the refill tab.
THANKS MR.MATT !!
You're welcome
Is it enough just to rejuvenate the rubber, vs actually lubricating the rubber?
If your in the UK and find it difficult to find this stuff try STP stop leaks.
Similar stuff and does the same job.
awesome I'll check it out
Be careful with your eyes!!!
Sweet video
Good work bruv!
I was wondering if I can you use it on motorcycle fork seals?
Some people say you can Duluth 50/50 with water. I would guess with newer cars to do that not older cars with old bushings.
Thx for the video
Thanks bro for your video I will try on my audi q5 2012

You can use a foam brush to put it only on the rubber parts and reduce waste on metal
Great idea
And avoid getting on brake discs or pads
Well, gonna have to try that out. Shouldn't take a whole lot on the toys to rejuvenate and keep them quiet. But, if it gets rid of stiff and hard, not sure that's gonna work for her.
Hit the motor mounts as well.
Wonder if this stuff would help the small slits on my motor mounts?
Good idea about the eye protection and gloves. I'm guessing you added the safety comments after taping your ungloved hand?
.
Scott Kilmer put this out 15 years ago. But good to see others are discovering his tips.
yep Scotty kilmer learned it somewhere and passed along the knowledge

@@Falcon5ive .. The thing is some silicone sprays (e.g wd40, permatex) contain petroleum distillates, and so do some food grade silicone sprays too.
You need grease in your ball joints. Use n injection needle if you don’t have zerk fittings. Use the edge of the rubber seal so you don’t cause rips.

Be sure that you have real rubber and not the newer polyurethane kind. It also helps to let it soak in for a couple of days before driving collecting water and dust etc.

I agree it's a cover up even stated in the video it's not a permanent fix, but it works if you got a hot date coming up and don't want to sound like a slinky pulling up
It's not going to fix that sqeak, it does maintain the rubber though
Actually it did, over two years later still squeak free. My daily driver.
Plp
to bad you cant find it and buy it nobody has this stuff
My local advanced auto store sells it
@@MattsFinds hmmm I went there yesterday n they can’t get it

Your store may not carry it but it can also be found on Ebay and Amazon. Also summit racing. Hope that helps
That's probably because they just want to sell you cheap knock off and squeeze more money out of your pocket. The real geniue products that actually work best are kept hidden from the consumers.
WD-40
Eats rubber
Note: AT-205 RE-SEAL, do NOT give it 5 hours. Drive it immediately. Ideally you'd pour it in while it's running. This will melt paint off your oil pan (if you have a painted oil pan, curse the OEMs who do) if you don't mix it into your oil by running your engine, then it will clog the oil pickup screen and kill your motor by reducing your oil pressure to 0
Maybe try reading the title or watching the video before commenting. I never added it to my oil crankcase, this isn't what it's being used for in this video it's being used to help soften the rubber bushings on suspension components.
Lol still sqeaky as f. Hahahahahaah
This is not the way to grease these rubbers I have a much better way
Wowzers
