I just installed the greasable bushings in all corners on my 88k5 and 3 of them won't accept any grease. What's up? Are they too tight?(I torqued to specs). Any help greatly appreciated!

try to cycle the suspension and then try to grease again. Sometimes mine will not accept grease and you can flex it just a little bit one way or the other and then it will take grease.

thanks, I'll try that. I guess the pin hole for the grease is blocked somehow right now. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif /forums/images/graemlins/k5.gif
You could also put a wrench on the bolts and give them a twist to a bit different orientation, the hole on the bolt could be pinched up against the sleeve. If it moves a bit should work fine.

What type of grease is best to use? /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif
I just use whatever we have in the gun, usually a medium grade wheel bearing/chassis lube. That should work just fine.
