Lubing the control arm bolts is pointless and retorqing them all the time is retarded. They are always being stretched and are getting weakened because of it. The bushing doesnt actually rotate around the bolt. Its torselastic so the metal part stays stationary and the rubber part twists around it. Lubing the bolts might make sense if it was a leaf spring bolt but for this you are wasting time and possibly weakening the bolt.
I hope you are at least tightening the bolt with the control arm in the ride height position or you are also ruining the life span on the bushing.
