Look at all the potential market share MC is missing out on by not installing zerks on their arms! Hello, Matsonian!!
Honestly, MC probably could get more sales if they had a zerk on their arms. It seems like it would be really easy for them to cut an indent down the middle of the bushing to actually make the zerk fully functional even. But I think the problem would be they require special grease. I think normal grease will destroy their duroflex bushing. So a zerk would not be too good.
Cutting a grease groove in the DF bushing would only serve to shorten its lifespan for those who rely on the bushing's elasticity. I doubt that would do anything to hurt sales, though.
The official name is "rainbow unicorn horn dust grease". You can't just use any ole grizz!
I was thinking about this last night. Maybe Currie should eliminate the grease zerks and use a teflon coated race. That's basically how my DDB bushings handle the wear issue. Then I decided it might be just as effective to just use Kevlar in the bushing compound. Not that Currie has ever had a problem with their bushings, but, you know, its Kevlar, so its better... Why does that sound famililar 
It seems like every time I grease joints there is something that attached itself to the bushings, both real JJs and knockoffs. There is usually a small amount on the balls too.
What is the stuff left behind after the oil is gone? Is it thickener from the grease or stuff that found its way into the joint? What is the best way to clean the bushings with out ruining the joints?
