I might of missed it, but is there a defenitive answer if Lippert uses the Never Fail Bushings in our Correct Track systems ? Anyone actually had to remove a shackle or bolt and observed the bushing ? I looked at the Lippert site and saw the Correct Track system and oddly enough it does not include bushings. Wondered if they are still sticking in those 2 cent plastic bushings that last about 100 miles.

My understanding is they use nylon bushings where the wet bolts are installed.

Disappointing but certainly not unexpected. If given the choice, I'd of taken the better bushings along with the greaseable bolts over the Correct Track (which, again not surprisingly, is just a marketing gimmick since they don't bother to actually use the Correct Track to align the axles before the rig leaves the factory, hence the Correct Track is useless and only becomes useful if the end user takes the RV (on our own dime) to a shop that is familiar with this thing and can use it to accurately align the axles).

I've seen plenty of pictures of destroyed and deformed nylon bushings. They are not designed to take the weight of the RV and the constant movement of the suspension and wear out quickly which then causes the suspension bolts to deform the shackle holes which leads to catasrophic failure. The nylon bushings are designed for two things, to be just good enough to get the Rv'er through the warranty period and secondly, to cost the manufacturer the least amount of money.

Just greased mine. Initially, only half would take grease. The ones that did not take grease, squeezed the grease gun quicker and was able to "break" through the zerk spring pressure. In the end 2 of 10 did not take grease. I am going to take a hammer to the zerk ball bearing and see if I can loosen it up a bit.
BTW, no old grease came out. Quite dissapointing.

It looks like they're not greased at the factory. It doesn't look like dealers grease them either. Likely the reason they won't except grease is because the holes are blocked from the weight of the trailer. You may have to take the weight off the suspension for them to accept grease.

Check out Dexters setup. Every mounting point is greasable. Even the actual equiflex assembly.
