Kelvin,
You touched on the subject I was about to broach.... So why is
there lubricant included with the poly bushings I bought from Moss?
I've been busy cleaning off the spindles and housings of my
suspension members assuming there would be slippage in one or the other.
Adding lubricant would surely guarantee it!
By the way, thanks for standing up for the RBB :)

Correctly installed the steel sleeve is designed to seize in place. The
outer rubber seizes to the arm. All movement is in the rubber torsion.
Very, very important. This is the way all rubber type bushes operate.
There must be NO mechanical rotation, and the rubber must seize in place at
normal rest condition.
Many of the complaints about ride height come down to incorrectly installed
rubber bushings. Not all, some are due to incorrectly made springs but
enough for it to be a major problem.
Kelvin.
