    Hey everyone! I just got done rebuilding the rear end of my DTR. I changed the rear shock lower bearing, the linkage bushings and collars and seals. For the shock bearing and the linkage bushings I decided to go with PTFE lined bushings instead of oem. I read that these don't require any grease at all, so I ended up running them dry but my gut is telling me that's not right. My question is wether you think I should've greased them and will running them dry shorten their lifespan.
    Thank you

      Due to the exposure that these bearings receive, it's recommended to grease them.

      The bearings themselves are exposed to a grease nipple so you should be able to just apply grease through their nipples directly.
