[QUOTE="BMR Tech, post: 14196081, member: 124691"] Great post. Well stated. There is no doubt in my mind that Steeda is a great company, and they have great products. I use, and have used many Steeda parts (parts that we do not offer) on my current and previous Mustangs. I also recommend some of their specific items on a weekly basis, via telephone conversations with my customers. As far as the greasing of the bushings. We all use Polyurethane. Poly is poly, at the end of the day. There are several ways to make it "different" - but it is still Polyurethane. If someone does not want to lubricate our components, then they have that option. We offer fittings for ease of re-greasing, it really is that simple. NO polyurethane bushing manufacture will recommend NOT lubricating their bushings. No polyurethane LCA for these cars are sealed. Grease has a tendency to "wash" or "push" out. That's where our fittings come into play. If you read the Steeda instructions, they tell you to lubricate the bushing before installation. They also warn that noise may become present by failing to do so. So, this means, when that grease gets pushed out...friction and heat take over, and moaning/groaning/"squeaking" starts - you have to remove the LCA to resolve your issue. No denying Steeda has been around longer than BMR, but I would not really say that has much of anything to do with the current topic, or the reason behind the bushing designs. As a matter of fact, when we went to our bushing manufacture over 15 years ago with a bushing design that we wanted...they were impressed. We designed a bushing with spiral flutes - and our supplier had wondered why they had never done such a thing. I am not saying we invented the grease flute, but, we had never seen one - and neither had our bushing suppliers. These days, you rarely see a bushing without a grease flute. We are leaders in the latemodel GM and Ford suspension industries, and it has little to do with our marketing program. I am the only person posting on the forums, actually. ;-) [/QUOTE]
