I want to know should I mix AT-205 with water before using on the bushings on my suspension? Control arm bushings, tie rod bushings ect. Or do I just spray as is on all the bushings? Thanks .

Yes, you can dilute it with water for external applications such as suspension bushings. I apologize for my previous answer!
I would follow the instructions on the bottle.
But personally I don't really believe in the stuff. Why waste money on this stuff instead of using it to replace the bushings when it comes time. A little spritzing on the surface isn't going to significantly change the material properties or prolong the life.

No. It's a polymer and should be applied directly "as is".. It repels water.
Ok. Thanks
I wonder why people are deciding to diluted with water then.
at-205 is not a polymer. It's just ethylene glycol. Same as brake fluid (which absorbs water)
Thought Scotty said it was a polymer, no?

Slip of the tongue. I'm sure he meant to say that it's good for polymeric materials (rubber, plastic, etc.).
Technically speaking , it's classified as a "plasticizer"
Research it yourself if you don't believe me. Look up the MSDS for the the stuff. EG is not a polymer.

In fact, I'm pretty sure Scotty said he dilutes his with water too.
Well.. I identified it as polymer based on bad info, that's on me. Just goes to show anyone can make a mistake, including SK. His 'slip of the tongue' occurred at least 3 times. He clearly states, "it is a clear polymer" followed by "it's a liquid polymer formulation" followed by "being a polymer it doesn't have any solids in it". Now not mixing with water, that's on me.
with Scotty you want to follow the gist of the explanations and not get too hung up on words.
