Thanks for the heads up. Just added Mike's pump and link.

So what I'm hearing is that there are basically three types of "leakless" rear bushings and two types of sealed front bushing.

REAR:
Brass with Neoprene lip that you still grease
Fake packing nut bushing that you don't grease
rear bushing with ceramic (anyone know about these?)

FRONT:
Sealed ball bearing
Sealed needle bearing

What is better? Ball bearing or needle bearing?
