Very true I greased the HELL out of my bushings and after 2 months they started squeaking. So I had grease fittings installed. Have I used them - nope too lazy

Make them greaseable? I never actually got to use the fittings I installed on my hybrid but they also never squeeked in 2 months or so I had them. They definately ride stiffer but feel much much better. You don't feel as much slop and shake in the car when pushing it.
