I think Vaseline would be milder than most oils, but I would still avoid it.
One problem is that rubber bushes are NOT supposed to move or slide in
operation. The motion is supposed to be taken up by the flexure of the rubber,
not by it sliding against the metal next to it. Once that starts happening,
the rubber can wear out real quickly.
