[RICK LAKE]

cobrarkc Rick I have the white bushing in the rearend of the car and the blacks in the front. All have grease fittings. The car gets all track time. The rubber bushing will make the car ride better and quiet. Rubber bushings need no maintainance until they are worn out or the rubber starts to fall apart. They are not TRUE rubber anymore like the old days. If you shop around, you can find poly bushings that have grease slots in them. All you have to do is drill and tap the hole for a fitting. The grease gun will do the rest. My rearend bushings have 11 years on them and are still tight to the shafts. The fronts are 5 years old and no defection at all. They are a harder bushing material. ERA DOESN'T recommend running poly bushing in there rearend assemblies. The roller bearings if properly maintained will last 75K miles without problems. For the road, IMO I would still go with the poly bushings. If your COBRA is that important to you and you wash, wax, and show it off all the time, you are going to also do the little extra maintainance for it. It takes 10 minutes for 18 grease fittings on my car. I have 3 different grease guns. 1 is for wheel bearings with high temp red grease. 1 is for silicone grease for just the poly bushings. The last is a water proof moly grease for pivot points like tie rod ends. Poly bushing will make you car handle and respond better. Down side is you will feel every wave, divit, impression in the road. For a street car that goes racing 1 time a year, I wouldn't go the extra measure.JMO Rick L
