Hey guys, I have my new rear bushing kit (mountain performance set) ready to put in my 2005 rx-1 but have a few questions.

1) Should I spray something on the bushings to help them go in or would that not be a good idea. If so, what should I use.

2) Should I pump grease in the openings where all the bushings are going or just certain ones? I have no grease zerks on my suspension so I want to do it now why things are apart.

Sorry if a stupid question, I just want to do it right.

thanks
 
Grease and oil will draw and retain dirt. And, you have no way to add grease later to force the old dirty grease out. I would leave them dry. Or if you can't handle that, maybe some silicone spay? You may want to ensure that the metal parts are ultra-clean. If they are rusting in the bushing area, then maybe a light coat of synthetic grease on the rust and specific wear areas.
