The sound finally went away with an heavier application from the grease gun into the zirks yesterday. I used a heavy duty tractor bearing grease
I have been told that the bushing should have silicone grease on their outer surface and under the flange, which makes sense now. So I'll pull the arms, remove the bushings and try the silicone grease. The creak started to come back today, albeit less noisy. Any tip on do's / dont's on greasing bushings will be appreciated |

Frankly, I think (know) you're talking out of your ass.
They're not plastic and they're a great bushing if installed properly. These 70D's should last as long as the factory bushings if maintained properly. If you have no experience with 70D bushings you shouldn't pretend that you do. |

Eric, You take things to personal and then attack personally. I did not do that. I respect your opinion. I value my experience and I dont talk out my ass, thanx. I have replaced these bushings...I know how fun it can be. I disagree with you, get over yourself. You loose respect when you attack, its not needed. Jim is a big boy, he can hear other opinions besides yours and make a decision. Dont get all defensive, its a bad sign. Why dont you explain the superior properties of your plastic bushings versus other plastic bushings...you obviously have done some research. Then, please compare them to Brass/bronze and bearings. Show the harness index of all of them. Show the friction results of all of them. QUOTE They're not plastic and they're a great bushing if installed properly. Polyoxymethylene (POM), in the USA also commonly known under DuPont's brand name Delrin, is an engineering plastic, a polymer with the chemical formula -(-O-CH2-)n-. I will shut up if you can show me how superior they are...I will make a public apology because I am a big boy. He asked what to do...I still believe that brass/bronze or bearings are a better solution to the problem. Rich |
