Whiteline Greaseless swaybar bushings..

Hello Everyone!


Just a little year long end-user feedback on the Whiteline Greaseless swaybar bushings...


They hold up very well in the very rough driving conditions of North Central WV... Also the coating on the 20mm 2 position bar that I'm using is still flawless after over 10K miles of use...


The only caveat.... The bushings are not greaseless long term... After checking other items first, I was finally force to remove the bar and grease them with proper bearing lube... Smooth and quiet sailing since... :-)


Just my 2cents so take it for what it's worth!


Ed

So basically false advertising?

I'd recommend also wrapping the bar at the bushings with teflon tape.

One of my whiteline d-link bushings tore in half within a month of install, and I had used a bit of grease on it. After some back and forth white whiteline they sent me a pair of replacements.

I ended up buying a pair of HardRace bushings (16mm) but sold the bar before I got around to install (for sale if anyone wants them).
