TikTok user @scottykilmerofficial revealed that when he first started working as a mechanic, cars had greased fittings.
Scotty said: “You’d grease them to stop creaking. They haven’t had those for decades; instead of grease fittings, there are rubber bushings between the metal parts.
“And as they age, the rubber will often creak. So I spray them with AT 205 reseal.”
This product can be found on eBay and costs around £35.
He added: “Strangely enough, they don’t have a spray bottle, and you got to buy your own spray bottle.
“It’s polymer, and it rejuvenates rubber products; you just spray all the rubber bushing and soak them.
The mechanic claims that it’s best to let it soak overnight so it gets all the crevices.
He continued: “And unlike something like WD40, this permeates the rubber, and it won’t wash off with rain.
“So if your nice vehicle sounds like an old clunker, fix it with a little polymer spray.”
The video has gone viral on social media with more than 897,000 views and 584 comments.
More viewers were blown away after watching this amazing hack on TikTok.
