QUESTION:  Which parts on these bushings move?  I thought the whole thing 
(bushings and collar)  rotate as a unit around the bolt, which stays 
still.

I'm starting to thing that the bolt and collar stays still, and the 
urethane bushings move around the collar.  If so, then I should drive out 
the collar, and grease in between the bushings and collar?

Anyone know?  I put a lot of grease everywhere _but_ there, because the 
collars are in there solid, like they don't move.

Thanks,

Ken
