I have heard about wear and squeaking from the compliance bushing on the LCA when using polyurethane bushings - has anyone put grease fittings in their LCAs to prevent these issues?

I used alittle WD-40 to get it to slip in and i also used a Mallet to hammer it in alittle too.
Must be one hell of a mullet... :mbiggrin:Quote:

I have poly bushings in the front but didn't put any zerk fitting or anythiong like that in. When I notice that it's making noise (like jumping on a mattress) or after it rains, I just spray silicone lubricant, and it's fine. I haven't noticed the wear that people have mentioned, but I don't use White Lithium grease because it tends to hold rocks and debris.Quote:

God damn it i spelled it wrong! I mean't Mallet? How ever you spell it.Quote:
