ok guys i had greasable bushing installed when my balljoint went out and were replaced, well today i just happened to look at the lower bushing that surrounds the lower control arm balljoint, and holds the grease, well the damn bushing has busted, you can see how the grease has come out the bushing, the bushing is still there but there is about probley a half an Inch gap in the bushing. So see i will be going to uwarrrie tomorrow (mon) and, i needed to know do yall think it will be ok to 4wheel it, being mud and dirt eats grease, not any serious wheeling will be done in my ex(NOT YET...LOL), but what do yall think, will it be ok with just alot of grease on the gap, and constantly checking it..

THANKS GUYS PLEASE LET ME KNOW
