Thoughts on greasable upper amd lower control arm bolts?

[89Suburban]

My man what are you doing to your truck that you need an alignment every couple months?? I've owned a 2008 Cobalt for 16 years and it's gotten one alignment after I did control arms, struts, and lowering springs!

To the others, marine grade never seez, great idea, just sad they missed out on calling it seaz lol. And greaseable ball joints are just part of the part I'd be buying anyway. Also even if they don't last longer it means I have to inspect them and grease them once a year at least so it gives me a reason to be in there and checking it for safety.

You don't know this kid, he is extreme haha.

Jack em up 8-12” in the air and Baja down the beach going 60-70mph lol and if I ain’t doing that the roads in my town are the worst in Nc the pot holes would beat your alignment out of wack before anything else

I'm trying to find that video you posted a while back about driving the lifted truck ( I think it was a white truck? ) with your wife over the big bumps in the road I can't find it. You got a YT channel?

That sounds awesome! If I did that I'd have to look up when putting my kid in his carseat!

That’s why the wife wouldn’t let me lift our Tahoe until we got her a car! We got her car on a wensday by Friday I had the Tahoe stripped down getting the lift put on lol

I installed Mevotech UCA\LCA on mine and they have the zerk fittings on them for greasing.

The bushings are the key to alignment specs. They only need lube if the rubber boots tear or the bushings wear too much from spec. More grease is a temp stop gap.

Camber bolt kits and shims are a balancing act for worn parts. The play of worn bushings will knock the alignment out of spec in a few hundred miles. Cams, shims and longer bolts just can’t correct for out of spec bushings.

NNBS truck susp is good for about 100k mi. The more or less comes into play from wheel size and a lift or drop kit. You will get longer life with off road components specifically designed for altered lift / geometry.

Essentially you’ll find with a refreshed front suspension you won’t need any alignment adjustments for the first 50k miles unless you’re a curb hopper.
