Yes it is. Regular grease will run out of the bushings or dry up and lead
to the most hellish squeaking. Find something that is recommended for
polyurethane bushings at your local parts store. I don't have the faintest
idea of what would be available in the UK though. Cost should be a clue...

FWIW Morten is in Denmark...

Morten,
What's the offroading like in Denmark ? Is it there easy access or is it
all locked down by legislation ?

Yep, correct.

There are only very few places where one can go offroading - and even
fewer where it can be done legally :-(. A few times a year it can be
done legally on the militarys practice areas when one of the clubs
makes a deal with the military for a weekend or so. Apart from that
it's mostly done "more or less legal". The place my club has used
until now has just been sold for "recreative purposes" - i.e. golf
etc. I think offroading is an excellent kind of recreation, so I
guess we can still use it! :-)
