Folks -

Been trying to find the answer to this - have some Moog links and sway bar bushings I am going to swap out and wanted to know if I needed to grease the Moog sway bar bushings and with what?

Thanks!

Prof

Bump - Please folks, any idea? Or should I just slap them on after cleaning the sway bar, and leave them ungreased?

Uh...end links have grease fittings, yes...

Sway bar bushings do not...

Sure why not. Your not going to hurt anything. Just don't pack it on so that grease gets all over everything. Just a tiny bit.

Ford says no.


With that being said, who knows if Moog/Motorcraft share the same bushing material. I'm not going to grease them. Easier to grease if they squeak, than remove grease.

I have always used a small amount of grease when installing new sway bar bushings. So long as the grease is not a type that will be damaging to the material of the bushing, it will help with longevity and reduce wear.

I use white lithium on my sway bar bushings. Like the others said, just a little bit. When I first got my truck there was a squeak that took a couple weeks to find, turns out the white lithium grease solved my problem when I sprayed the sway bar bushing. It was the very last thing I suspected........when I did my front end rebuild, I lightly greased the inside of the bushings and no issue since.
