All,
Have finished a re-hab of the rear swing arm bushings.
They are the harder polyurethane and I installed four zerks to assure I have no squeaking or binding.
What lubricant grease should I use that won't break down the poly compound?
Thanks in Advance

Sorry... my reading skills are bad these days:
You should be able to use Daystar KU11004 Lubrathane Poly Lube.

You might want to consider cutting channel into the bushing. It gives the grease somewhere to go and spree Round. Otherwise it doesn't disperse well

Brant, are you talking a channel like a key-way, longitudinally?

I believe the typical procedure would be to cut a spiral groove on the ID.

I don't know Dave....
I just made sure that the hole penetrated the bushing so the the grease could lubricate the shaft. I installed 1 zerk per bushing and when I hit it with the grease gun Pascal's law had no problem surrounding the shaft with grease.
I notion-ed that since the shaft needed a smooth surface to bear on, I didn't want to deform any of that surface, IMHO.
