2011 and up frond ends

[alpineviper]

Do the 2011 and up front end bushings hold up better with the greaseable control arms and bolts?

 

[Stubbs]

Yes, grease makes ALL the difference. Plastic a-arm bushings at the spindle bolts still wear though so oil-lites are still my fave.

i have the oil lites in the 11 apex since about 8000 mi. last year i had to replace the bolts for the lower a arm through the frame as the bolts wore but the bushings where all fine. 23000 mi on it now. discovered this on my old 05 rx war when we went to replace the bushings and it had the same play as the ones that came out. new bolts and been fine since.

Yes, a little grease goes along way. and some maintenance.

What kind of grease are you guys using? I have been using the blue Amsoil synthetic waterproof grease.

my favorite is a food grade grease that is waterproof. every time i grease it, when using this grease, it only takes 2 pumps per fitting for everything to be full of grease again. the only places i cannot use it is in bearings (not rated for it) and on ski spindles as it makes the sled a bear to turn.
