A couple things need to be understood on this issue. Spindle bushings and bolts wear because of no lube but most of all because people just don't snug up the nut EVER. It's the contact surface of the spindle bushing against the hanger that keeps the movement correct. Once it gets worn and loose wear sets in quickly. If you decide to lube them, when you have them removed just drill a 1/8" hole in the center of the barrel. You can then either use a squirt can or a chainsaw grease gun to lube. Nylon bushings will last far longer than bronze bushings. Even if they have some slop. tighten them up until they have slight drag. You will find the slop gone and 10 laps later it will steer easily.
