Hey Lugz,

Great technique for old track arm bushing removal in your tips and tricks! I have a poly bushing set in stock waiting to do the job and I'm wondering about a zerk install to avoid the eventual poly squeak.
Can you say where the rotation actually takes place? If it's between the bolt and sleeve, poly grease is not necessary I figure; just regular grease for metal on metal. If the rotation is between the sleeve's OD and the poly bushing's ID then a zerk with some cut channels might be a good mod.
