Default Nylon bearings?

I want to lubricate the nylon rotors that my mower blades turn in. What
is the best lubricant to use? I have heard that oil will deteriorate the
nylon and that silicone is too weak. They are really getting noisy and need
something. Thanks


Lubrication is likely to be a short term solution at best.
I'd probably try some polyurea (bicycle) grease since I
happen to have some around.

But if nylon bearings are sufficiently worn to flap around and
make a noise, it's time to replace 'em. Just check to see
that it's not something else generating the noise.
