I used the DJM grease when i insalled my upper and lower arms, they were nice and quiet for about a month, not so much any more.
is this a common problem...when i regrease them will it last longer??

I know waht you mean, my front end squeaks awful, it was fine for the first few months but now....
I have re greased mine with some industrial stuff we use at work and it didn't help any.
I am beginning to wonder if its the spring, I cant remember if there was a rubber"boot" for the ends of the spring to sit in or not.
I guess I will find out when I get the bags on.

I've had my DJM arms on for almost 2 years and I greased them when I installed them, and then greased them about 9 months ago and I've never heard a peep out of them.

did you guys drill out the bushings inside so you actually get grease in them?

that's what I was thinking too....you gotta make sure the grease fitting hole goes all the way into the middle

yeah i made sure i drilled out the bushing in mine, it was quiet for about a year and then i started to notice a little bit of squeeking but only when i went over speed bumps and stuff so i greased them and they haven't made any noises

Yea, I drilled the holes for the grease fittings. Mine are ok unless I hit a bump or I am on a rough road..
