hohieu Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 (edited) I tried several different synthetic non-petroleum based caliper greases for the sliders and they've all let me down. Finally found this at Subaruparts.com for $12.60 + S&H. It comes in a 100g (~3.5 oz.) tube. Edited December 6, 2011 by hohieu Added Photo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 Score! I had gotten some little packets of it in with the genuine caliper rebuild kits, but hadn't seen it available separately. Thanks for the info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Rubber Grease? It is the very First time I read that written, but I'm sure I've seen it before, just not named as "Rubber" Grease. Kind Regards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
porcupine73 Posted December 7, 2011 Share Posted December 7, 2011 Rubber grease! I think something is lost in the translation....... It may be made by a joint venture between Matsumura Fishworks and Tamaribuchi Heavy Manufacturing Concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hohieu Posted December 8, 2011 Author Share Posted December 8, 2011 (edited) Loyale, I'm guessing you thought you were on the wrong forum, huh? Agreed, it's a pretty literal translation for the product. I should also say that all the other stuff I've tried has swelled the brake rubber and hardened over time. I'm sure there's an aftermarket equivalent out there somewhere, but since Akebono's caliper design is the only one I know of that uses the rubber bushing at the tip of the lock pin, I'd been looking for this JDM/OEM grease for a while.
