Ok, just installed new front shocks (Bilstein H1's) and went to work on the rears when I read in the service manual (in the rear section only) that you are not to apply grease to the shock or bracket. Well, it didn't say that for the front, and in fact I had put a small amount of white grease on the rubber bushings thinking that it may prevent noise down the line and ease the assembly. So here's the questions.. Do I need to tear this apart to clean off the grease from the bushings? and Why would it specifically say (in bold red print) not to apply grease in the rear suspension section but not in the proceding front suspension section? Any information / advice? What evil things are my dab of grease going to do? anything? By the way, drove it on the fronts only and it's a night and day difference. There was nothing left of the stock front left. it felt empty after I had removed it.
