92 civic dx front bushings

yea first forum ever!! this is probably a noob question but ive never done bushings before so idk.  i bought the sets for the front control arms and shock bushings cuz mine have so much play in them and balded my tires. my question is that i was told to reuse the metal sleeves from the old bushings for the energy ones, but the instruction sheet doesnt say that so im confused, and hoping someone could clarify this for me, and also i saw that they need to be greased and was also wondering, how often they should be re-greased? please if anyone could help i would really appreciate it.

Thanks for the post!

You definitely will be reusing the factory sleeves on your installation.  The instruction sheet will be updated to show what we have currently discussed.  As far as the grease goes, you will want to generously use our supplied formula 5 that comes with the kit and you shouldn't have any problems in the future with needing to grease them.

ok. thats kind of a problem because i called you guys earlier this morning and the guy i talked to said that i didnt need to use the old sleeves, and i took my car to a shop to get it done quickly and last i talked to the mechanic he said it looked like the energy bushings wouldnt fit into the old sleeves. what do u think?

Ok,

Sorry about the confusion, I think we are having a break down in terminology here.  I am going to have you talk to a gentleman here by the name if Kevin Lake please call 949.361.3935 and ask for him, he is our technical director and will be able to pinpoint exactly your issue and solve it from there.  Thanks!!
