Jon K was it you re grunts and greasing? Some one, I seem to remember Jon K posted about greasing something related to grunts thrust bush install. Would this greasing reduce or eliminate the torsional loads on the bush or were you just greasing the bolt for easier installation?

Pls see my post re control arm busing and BMW original design cosiderations.

I grease the sleeve... then when you torque the bolt, it pulls the tabs from the frame to it, and it seems the bushig pivots on the sleeve, not the sleeve on the car.
