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!

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).

Not so much... More like Murphy's law... ;-)

I always wanted to try this but I never seem to think of it once I have everything apart... LOL
