Greasable Trailing Arm bushings? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am getting ready to install new polyurethane trailing arm bushings in my 69 short fleet. It seems that I have read somewhere about making these bushings greasable. Since I have heard that poly bushings have a tendency to squeak, should I make them greasable? And if so, how can I do this?

Any help would be appreciated.

EIDT*** I decided that the above might be a bit confusing, I can and will grease the bushings before assembly, what I am wanting to do is to install grease zerks in the outside bushing housings so that I can grease the bushings later.

Is this necessary?
