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 will quote myself so you can remember.

I offered advice and a solution in my first post.

you agreed with that advice and threw a few insults in for good measure.
You are someone who cant handle an opposing opinion.

They are plastic...call it PU or POM...Polyeurethane is plastic...
Did I say plastic...is that a bad word now, plastic??
They are harder, yippee.
They still squeak.

They are harder so they wont oval out...time will prove that theory true or false.

Sorry you love them, I think plastic bushings suck.
Get over it.
you may think in your little mind that you proved me wrong...you only proved your an ass.
