Pete, I am pretty sure that the pivot motion on these bushings is supposed to be only between the OD of the metal sleeve and the ID of the poly bushing. The OD of the bushing is not designed to turn in the ID of the control arm. You also have to tighten the bolt tight enough so that the ID of the metal sleeve is not turning on the OD of the bolt. Maybe someone else can confirm this.
I used a cut-off wheel on a die grinder to cut the grooves only on the OD of the metal sleeves.
Energy Suspension tech said any chassis grease can be used to lube the bushings if you have installed zerks. That is what I will use. The thick silicone stuff is longer lasting and doesn't wash away, perfect for bushings without zerks.
