This is a set of Polyurethane Bushings as they come out of the package. The little red tube is the white STICKY grease included in the package of the Polyurethane Bushings.

The first step is to disassemble the bushings and sleeves
 Polyurethane Bushings P1250007 This is the grease. It is extremely sticky and gets on everything. Clean up can only be done with thinner. It gets on the tools, the workbench, everywhere.

In my opinion Polyurethane Bushings should not be used unless you really need them (road racing). I do not care what people say in the long run they are more trouble then they are worth. Even if you dissemble them grease them they will eventually squeak, and the ride they provide is harsh.
