The original grease that you install them with WILL wear out over time, creating sticktion(friction) in the bushing, a resistance to movement and causing the bushings to wear. OP, if you look in my thread (Project: Do Work) I installed grease nipples at all the poly bushings, I think I posted the How-to link in the thread somewhere as well. Edit: > [@spilner"](#): > > what are you people talking about? > > the grease is for installation. You don’t need to re-grease them. That’s only for certain swaybar bushings, and they have grease nipples on them. How do you figure? According to ES you dont need to regrease them, yes. But ideally you want as close to zero friction as possible in your suspension components and a well greased bushing will get you a hell of alot closer to that then a dry piece of poly and metal rotating together. That said, NO its not imperitave that you ever regrease them once you put them in, but performance/longevity wise it is a good idea. Good to know about the red/black thing though, didnt know that. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/energy-suspension/131212)._
