    Default Greasing the A arm bushings

    I've got a slightly loose bushing on one of the A arms. Can I ride it? I have 2 rides, one is a ride I put together and one is to get it to the dealer. Both about 100 miles each.

    Until I can take it in to get them replaced, I want to grease them and my normal grease gun coupler is difficult to get into the small space. I don't want to remove the trunk. Tried the coupler with slotted opening and it doesn't work real well. Thinking of trying something like this:




    Looking at the differences between the '13 & '14 bushings, it looks like the '13 can't use the '14 bushings. The bolt that goes through them is the same, but the A arm is different. Darnit!

    Looks like the '14 bushing are self lubing to me from that pic.
