    My dakars ride great and I used the rubber to solve the squeak that comes from the front area of the pack but I'm now getting a squeak from the bushing on the shackle side. Anyone try those greaseable bolts for squeaking bushings? Thanks

    These would eliminate having to unbolt, pull bushings, and grease every 3 months!

    Are the dakar bushings a odd size from OEM? Just asking because it seems like new bushings might be in order. I think that mine has some two piece rubber bushings that would be better off with some sort of poly.

    I was thinking about the rear mostly. The front came with a bushing already installed. But also I was wondering about the guy who replaces the shackle and/or bushings. It would be a bad day if the OME eye bushings were a larger od.
    I talked to the guy who makes the greasable bolts and he needed bolt dimensions.

    I think this is the issue I'm having....
    Once I'm done dialing the front coilovers in etc, I'm going to address this. Let me know what you do/did to remedy this

    I was thinking that we wanted to grease the inside of the bushing. I guess I don't see how those shackles would get grease there.

    That would grease the inside of the sleeve, not the inside of the bushing.

    You mean that you don't just grease the nipple? DOH! I'll go back in my corner.

    I couldn't tell if the grease path was drilled through the bushing and metal sleeve or just into the shackle. I'm fairly new to this stuff, so I was just asking.
    Oz, you have these right? I couldn't find a price on these, does anyone know what they're going for?

    Isn't that where the movement / squeak would be though ?

    ie between the bushing sleeve and the through bolt ?

    ...too much shit to list.
    One of three possible places.

    Can be metal/metal from bolt to sleeve.
    Can be metal/poly from sleeve to bushing.
    Can be poly/metal from bushing to pivot.


    Personally I hate greasable shackles. There's a hole in the bolt...a hole. Give me a grade 8 any day.
