Greg, I guess I’m not understanding why the bushings are expected to last about a year. Like you mentioned, as long as they grease these “regularly”, which is an assumption in some cases. But even so, with as hard and thick a material, I’d be surprised to find this repair not last much longer even under some punishing abuse. Plus, and besides the point, this is a shitload of work an money too. And yeah, you do great work as always.
