Control rod end bolt lubrication

[at7000ft]

The bolt should not require lubes. Control rod and bearing is permanently lubed. If rod end is working properly there is nothing rotating around the bolt, the bearing will rotate.

Great news since I didn't think about it until I had all my rod end bolts torqued.

I agree with Paul, but I also admittedly apply a drop or two of LPS-2 at annual. Never use grease because it tends to collect trash that will ruin the bearing.

Are you guys lubricating the bolts passing through the BC4W10 bearings and rod ends for all your controls? And if so with what? Axle grease?

thanks
