    When you guys grease poly / delrin bushings, do you grease the od and the id or just one of them? I saw TC says to only grease one, but I've also heard to grease it all. I'm doing my lowers and that's why I'm asking...

    A couple people pointed that out - I think he fixed it. What do you do when greasing bushings? In and outer diameter? It seems like some people do it either with both surfaces or just the id...

    Sounds reasonable - I guess the point is to have more friction between the bushing and the outer sleeve than the inner. Thanks.

    Its better to over grease then under grease, so I'd do both id and od

    Grease them both. Just don't use excess grease or it will attract dirt and wipe away any that splooges out after assembly

    the ubolts themselves. you have them at an angle. if nothing is keeping it that way, go tap on the top of ubolt to make it straight. once it does that (either by a hammer or just driving) that ubolt will now be loose.

    Just loosen it and straighten out the ubolt, not ubolt plate, and retorque.

    Im sure you'll enjoy the extra travel over the previous set up, have fun!
