Well they are done so the marine grease stays as does the Kendall blue since I had a tub and got tired of pumpkin the grease gun for marine , such a thin coat I don't see there being an issue

Remember yes they need greasing for assembly but assembly squeezes out almost all the grease its not like they are sitting in a puddle of grease

Just waiting on ball joints

 

Now poking around the net today looking for info I came across a thread in a UK site and they were saying use range rover sport control arms on the lr3 cause they are better bushings??? Does this make sense or was I misreading

 

I think the gist of the idea was that the RRS bushings are either stiffer, longer lasting, take more weight, or one/all of those things. I constantly hear over at the disco3 forums that the armored discovery models use the RRS bushings for the reasons above, but have not had this confirmed myself.

 

I've read that too, than in later post's in other forums some said the fail rate was unchanged.

 

Like I said just something interesting I came across

 

In the end after doing these bushings and seeing the way the rubber ones failed IMO they are intentionally under engineered to make them fail to increase dealer repairs, I have had cars and trucks with hundreds of thousands of miles and the suspension bushings never failed

As with a lot of rover things that give issues and should not, but then I guess that's the way the auto industry has been headed for years

What's the saying a good engineer designs things that last, a great engineer designs things that last a designated amount of time then fail requiring replacement

 

Back to the lube question

On my brothers truck and my dually we have poly bushings from energy, day star and Moog all have grease fittings because they are meant to be greased so I am not sure how a poly company can say don't grease their bushings and put a grease fitting

Thoughts?
