Put in new bushings and put back. Takes me about 2 hours to do this job.

This should be a "sticky" for sure, or be included in the "Apex FAQ's" sticky.
IMHO one of the best DIY threads out there!

When do these bushings tend to need be replaced? My wife drives an 08 Apex with approx 4000kms, is this something I need to be looking into, or how can I tell if they need them replaced??? On my2010 apex, are they any different than the 08? Thanks.

From the reading I have done, it seems there is no real set of milage when they can go, meaning some gets lots of miles out of the factory ones and some hardly any.
I read once where spraying a lube all around the bushings so it creeps into them can help so if you have no plans to replce them this year then this is a good mtce tip.
Aren't the 10's greaseable? I thought they came from the factory with grease nipples already installed? (maybe it's the 11's?)

Pick up the front end and see if you have movement in the A-Arms.
