The joint is self-lubricating by virtue of the materials used. Applying any kind of grease would likely only attract more road grime and grit from the road and increase the wear rate. We do not recommend use of any sort of lubricants, oils, grease or otherwise on our bushings. Hope that helps...
Glad you're liking them! Reviews like these are what make the work we do so rewarding. You guys are going to love what we've got in store for you. :)

We split our manufacturing about 50/50 between domestic and international suppliers. The majority of the international stuff goes to east Asia with a small percentage going to Europe for high-precision work. The custom components for these bushings are made by one of our east Asian vendors, but...
No hard feelings! :) I just wanted people to know I'm around if they have questions! As a car guy, I can totally relate to the incredible frustrations caused by an aftermarket parts companies with poor customer service. We try very hard to be anything but that kind of company. :)

Jonathan,
I replied to your email 4 days ago within about 30 minutes of receiving your first email. I'm not sure customer service can get much faster :-P. Maybe your spam filter got it?
The response would have came from russ@acuityinstruments.com
