my greasable pivot shafts came with poly LCA bushes but everybody is telling me to use the rubber ones that came with the PST poly super front end kit . which LCA bushes should I use? ,I don't want a "harsh" ride which is what I'm being told I'll get from the poly bushes
 
If you purchased greasable pivot shaft than you should use the bushing that were supplied with the kit. The portion of the shaft that goes into the bushing on the greasable shaft is actually larger than our stock oem style non greasable. We did this so you do not need to re use the inner sleeve like you would have to with a conventional style pivot shaft when using polygraphite bushing. When properly greased polygraphite bushings will not squeak. You will not have a harsh ride with bushings that are included with the kit. The shafts are designed around using the polygraphite bushings.

Thanks

where do I get the special grease for poly bushings ?(I'm in Australia ) have looked on your site but can't find it
 
Harsh=low amounts of suspension flex and more steering response, better cornering. I kinda like harsh, like I really like firm auto trans shifts.
 
I can tell you I've built and driven three cars with all polygraphite front ends.
Including LCAs and anti-sway bars.
My daily driver has almost 200 thousand on it with no problems whatsoever.
I did not use greasable ones. They just came with some clearish assembly grease.
I only used MOOG hard parts.

You can use white lithium grease.
