Re: Greasable vs. Non-greasable Bushings

only bad thing i can think of against greaseable bushings is having to buy a greaseable bracket to put them in.

Re: Greasable vs. Non-greasable Bushings

Which bushings are you talking about specifically?
For example, LCA's, if you get greaseable, the arm should be made to accept the bushing, so you shouldn't have to modify anything.

No real downsides. It's more expensive because it's an added desirable feature. Helps to reduce the tendency to squeak.

Re: Greasable vs. Non-greasable Bushings

come to think of it, the only bushings IIRC that have seperate brackets would be your sway bars.

so my point is moot, lol.
