Good information. Thanks for all the input. I thought of cutting a small grove between the two bushings where they meet when installed and drill a hole in the center of the arm for th zerk. This would allow the grease to enter past the bushing and coat the metal sleeve.

I guess I'm not understanding what he did. The ID of the bearing moves right? So you drill a hole through the bushing where the zerk is. That way grease goes down to where the bushing rotates. I have not done this yet on mine. I'm thinking of using heim links in the rear and those delalum bushings for the arms. I have read that your grease gun needs to be decent to push the thick grease in there.
