GREASED front swaybar bushings...good or not? - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I have a S.T. Front swaybar.. The mounts(ones to the chasis) are messed up.

I went to pepboys and found a set of Energy Suspension bushings/mounts but they have a grease fitting on them.... Should i use them and just not grease them, or should i just go ahead and grease them even though the stocks dont have a grease fitting?

thanks.

Think about that for a second. Why would they include a grease fitting if it wasn't meant to be used?
Stock bushings are rubber, they don't need grease. Urethane does or it will creak like hell.

They should have come with grease too. Just like the ST's did. If you didn't use the grease with the ST mounts. That is probably why they are messed up.
