Hello everyone.

I bought some delrin diff bushings but they came with no grease does anyone have tips on how to do it or even what kind of grease I can use?

 

All you need grease for is the sleeves so it doesn't squeak when you get some motion. You could actually install them without grease but it will be noisy. Just get some good grease at the auto parts store, tell them it is for bushings or ball joints, there is really nothing special about it but some will last longer than others.

 

you'll be needing more then grease to install these, I hope you realize that. You'll need a press to get these puppies in. A 15 ton press is plenty for the job.

 

Ya I know I have the press just wasnt sure about the grease. So I just grease up the metal bar a littel then press it in? or do i grease the outside of the bearing

 

You should use anti-sieze on the outside of the bushings when pressing them in. The inside has a groove to retain grease like all of the other bushings, it should be filled prior to inserting the pin.



I recommend Super Lube but only supply a can of it with the full 18 piece kits. You don't need but a shot glass of grease to do both diff bushings. Super Lube has Teflon (PTFE) in it for extra protection and is what most guys use with Delrin bushings. Dave at MazdaTrix recommends a Lithium grease to use with the MazdaSpeed Delrin bushings but anything will work just fine. The diff bushings don't rotate on the pins like the other bushings so it's not a big deal to use what ever you have.
