Scott,
Really, man. Spend some time in the FAQ section on Vortex. There'll be some corner-case questions that aren't answered, which we can definitely try to answer. To me, it looks like you rub people the wrong way with your posts. I think people interpret your questions as "I don't want to take the time to learn, just effing tell me."
Please, do your research before you ask questions.

Guys... We don't have to act like the 'tex here.
I don't like when people ask a bunch of the same questions people already answered but...
I really don't like when people jump on others with the "use the search" replies.
Scott, you have to dig a little more on your own.
Reiser, awesome information and good advice!
Everyone else... if you don't want to answer then don't. There is no need to call people out like you are doing.

99% of the time, I just keep on to another thread, as do most people I think. But that's kind of the point.
It's hard to get a good answer on subjects like this unless you're willing to do some of your own research. Good, informative threads, on things that have been discussed so many times before, just don't happen.

This is true, I used a can of spray teflon lube for my squeaky bushings....The squeak would usually stay away till we had a nice rain then the squeaks would come back.

Quite literally... when they squeak.
Some of the bars have grease fittings now so you can use a grease gun on them. Getting in there and greasing the bushings works alot better than just spraying them. I pull my bar off and grease it up and put it back together 1-2 times a year.
