Polybronze bushings question

How often should I be greasing these on a street car in Socal?

I grease mine twice a season, and that works just fine. If I were to drive in heavy rain for a long trip, or real dusty trip, I'd grease it after I return.

It takes mere minutes to grease, so it's not really an issue.

You can't buy happiness, but you can buy car parts which is kind of the same thing.

..provided you don't have to re-clock the zerks
I do mine before each track event - I've seen the results of the bronze running dry.
The bronze is really a LOT softer then the stainless.

I believe I've read to grease with suspension drooped.

If it is metal on metal refer to the days when all cars had zerks everywhere....no more than 3k with modern grease as the old rec. was 2k back in the day.

Just while we are on the subject: What type of grease gun fits the nipples on Poly Bronze? And should the grease -ports point up or down?
