Advise needed. I'm in the process of cleaning and regreasing my neuspeed sway bar bushings.........

Is there anything else that I should apply grease to while I'm at it?

btw, I'm using Marine Grease (Quicksilver Multipurpose 2-4-C Marine Lubricant with Teflon).

Note: I'm aware that I still have to finish tightening the bushing collar bolts.

I persevered and finished the job. Took the car out for a test drive. No more squeeking from the bushings. It's peaceful, quiet bliss again. :-)

cut grooves in the I.D. of the bushing or just loosen the bushing retainer/clamp/collar to allow the grease to flow all around the I.D.?

Is it a grease fitting/nipple? and if so, for it to work, do you have to........... cut grooves in the I.D. of the bushing or just loosen the bushing retainer/clamp/collar to allow the grease to flow all around the I.D.? __________________ Long Island, New York
