February 28, 20188 yr Hi Rinkedekinkel, these bushes look interesting and I'm looking forward to you reporting back ... FWIW I put 50 hours on the original bushes before I pulled them out and drilled and tapped all the pins etc for grease nipples (zerks to our US compatriots) and have since done another 150 or so hours on the replacements. I haven't had any issues and the linkages are all still tight - probably helped by greasing them prior to most events. Grease is some cheap Mobil General Purpose formulation although when that runs out I have some fancy stuff that goes in the linkages of Excavators to use. I'm told by a friend who uses several thousand of the original style on industrial machinery that they aren't as bad as you fear, even in a dirty factory environment. He does say damaged pins will destroy them pretty quickly though. cheers, Richard
