Link bushing grease question

Featured Replies

I have the transverse link bushings to install. The old ones were burned out the link is ready.

The new bushings are urethane and this web site says they have to be very well greased or they could be noisy. Sounds like good advice....

Should I just grease the heck out of the metal tube that goes through the bushing and the ends of the bushing so the bushing moves with the link or grease everything in site?

i put anti-seize on the tube and greased the hell out of everything else.

The steel sleeve should move. The urethane bushing should stay stationary. If you're talking about the rear transverse link and the rear control arm bushings, there isn't much to do other than slap as much grease as you can in there. On the outer rear control arm bushings you can drill the control arm and install zerks so that you can lube them up later. Doesn't work on the inners though, because the bushing isn't tight enough and grease just comes right back out.
