Message	there must be some sliding motion which allows rotation. The urethane offers little ability to absorb rotational shear. Greasing the bushings will only work for a short amount of time before the grease is forced out or washed away. With the grease gone the bushing is going to bind to the steel sleeve and your going to hear squeaks and moans. I wonder if anyone has found any nylon bushings or inserts to be used instead of the urethane.

Probes suck, that's just all there is to it. - 300ZXpert (someday) on April 04, 2005 at 11:35 PM P.S. You REALLY are on here at ALL hours!
