Sound from the rear-Part II, Bushing not greaed properly Options

[jim_hoyland]

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

I would shut up if you offered help and advice instead of attacking me to support your product.

Hmmmm... let's see (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

My first piece of advice would be to bin them.

I get it! I'm not allowed to clear up misconceptions you spread about a quality product I sell. Bully. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I dont like online bullies and I dare say that most others dont either.
This is why I will not back down and let you win a pointless arguement so you can feel right.
Your behaviour is just turning me off to this board.

Cry me a river. You tell someone to throw the bushings I sold them out. I pretty much prove you don't know WTF you're talking about. You continue your rant even though you've admittedly had no experience with these bushings... I'm an "online bully" R-I-G-H-T. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Is this your board now?

You can do better than that.

If you cant let someone have an opinion different than yours, dont leave the house and dont try to hold a conversation with anyone...you might get angry that the other person has an opinion...

Yes Sir. I proimise to stay indoors.

Jim... is that a 70D Poly bushing in your pocket? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol3.gif)
