Use marine grease. I actually went to pep boys and bought a few zerk fittings, tapped the lollipops and bushings, ground out a grease slot in the bushing, and reinstalled them. The grease needs to be replenished every few months, and this makes it a lot easier. Completely silent, as well.

Bullshit.
Get those fucking fittings off there, do it like everyone else and take the fuckers apart once a year.
Zerk fitting are for pussies.Comment

I've got it straight now. My problem, was that I bought new control arms, and did NOT take the paint off the tips first. I took the bushings off, removed all the paint that was on them, and reinstalled with some good quality grease, and there is "no drag" at all. You can spin the bushings around freely once pushed back on the arms, and its nice and smooth and quiet.Supatek -noun - your basic know it allComment

I've not put them on yet but thought I would add a bit about customer service.
Just ordered the offset front bushings and engine and trans mounts and it took two days to get here. Ordered sunday night and they were at the door tuesday when I got home.....
I hope their poly engine/trans mounts hold up because they were damn sure cheap.sigpic

Mine started acting up again, so I ran a wire bristle brush attached to a drill, and honed the centers, just enough to rough stuff up, not actually create any play on the control arm. This in combination with some grease, really worked well for me.
I wish I could remember where I bought this brush from, could possibly be from home depot. Perfect size for this particular job.Supatek -noun - your basic know it allComment
