I guess the bushing design is one of those cost savings that help make the TT250 cost about 60% of the RX3.
When I did Mrs 2LZ TT250 project, I tore all that apart. That's why I was having trouble understanding where the zerks would go if you only do the cups.

This was after a good cleaning and greasing. Should be good for quite a while. Dakar it's not going to live through. ;-)
