Shouldn't you not place grease on the brass bushing. The point of that business is to stay in place while the bolt rides on the bushing?
Correct. The bushing to spring eye fit should be dry.
I watched a video of some guy putting new bronze bushings on an old 2 axle non rv trailer. The nylon bushing were so worn out the spring eye was worn. He was just slipping the new bushing in. If you turned the spring sideways the bushings would fall out.
You want a tight fit no grease or oil. Press them in with a C clamp or use an old bushing bolt with flat washers over the knurled end to hammer them in.
