All the movement is in the bushing.Thats why the nut shouldn't be tightened until its at ride height Last edited by HemiRick; 07/18/16 05:35 PM.

I would give it a very light coat of grease which would help with rust prevention & ease future dissassembly as there is road splash in that area. it'd take you 5 seconds live every 24 hour block of time like it's your last day on earth
