Unless you are having issues with noise (squeaks), there should be no need to relube.

The front bush sees such minimal movement that it really won't "wear out". The rear bush, on the other hand, could well be destroyed after 5 years (give it a GOOD visual inspection). It is very common for the "core" of the rear bush to rip out of the rest of the bush at about a 1" diameter.

A permanent fix for the rear is the PFF85-414 bush from PowerFlex, which is $193 a pair plus shipping.

Both the front and rear position bolts are one-time-use. The ball joint nuts are reusable.
