long arm bushings..
I'm in the middle of adding lowering blocks (2")
and well it's only one more bolt and the e brack cable and the arm is off. my bushings look like 40+ y/o worn out bushings.. ordered energy bushings , they come without the outer metal sleave. now poly has a rep. of squeaking, should I add a zerk fitting to the outer sleave? so they can be greased every now and then |

Re: long arm buchings..
I got poly bushings, they stopped sqeaking after a few thousand miles..?
A grease fitting would probably be a good idea

Re: long arm buchings..
Use the silicone grease recommended by ES, slather them in the stuff, and never, ever, ever, use the red bushings. Regular petroleum based grease will last a week or two, the stuff they recommend is like glue, only it doesn't clean up as easily
