Post Cleaning suspension of oil

Before I replace my front suspension bushing, I want to get all of the oil off of my suspension pieces (and make sure I don't have any leaks). What is the best way to do this? Can I just use dish washing detergent and water?

When I did my sway bar bushings and I looked into cleaning it all up...I was told to use Gunk degreaser or Simple green...

Someone mentioned before that the Purple stuff that Armorall (or was it Turtle Wax...hmmm? )sells at Pep Boys or the like was the best. Dawn dish washing liquid cuts cooking type greases, it would probably work good. But not as good as straight, uncut Simple Green or one of these other products. Before and after pictures, please?

Cool

Do some before-and-after photos of your hands, too, Tabes. It would make me feel good to know I'm not the only one going around with scarred, gashed meathooks.
