Hey all!

So I sprayed fluid film throughout the undercarriage of the 25 4 Runner Off Road Hybrid and got some on the suspension bushings and CV Boots. Has anyone had any long term issues with fluid film on rubber bushings and CV boots under their Toyotas?

And what is the best way to get fluid film off of the bushings/CV boots? regular Simple Green?

This might help shine some light on the department. I saw it a while back and recall to keep both products away from rubber parts, wires, connectors, etc...

Thanks,. I'm in SoCal so I never knew.

anti-corrosive popular in snow belt states
which may cause some rubber parts to swell

and is strongly recommend to never touch any
orange hybrid wiring connectors or cables
