It has been suggested to "grease" the trailing arm bushings. I caution you
about the use of grease with the rubber bushings. It will soften the rubber.

My opinion, after putting in brand new rubber bushings then replacing them
with poly ones from BPNW, FORGET the rubber! Use only the poly. I noticed a
tremendous reduction in the "Triumph Twitch." When installing use plenty of
anti-seize compound (or grease) to eliminate the possibility of squeaking,
it should not affect the poly.
