Just installed the Ultimate Steering Response System (USRS) from RR-Racing.

Highly recommend that everyone gets an alignment post installation of the USRS!! My steering felt fine, but the toe was off quite a bit when I went in to the shop.
Check your local Toyota dealerships - I got an alignment for $59.99 + tax/shop fees.

To answer your question, no you don't have to pre-grease the USRS prior to installation; it should come pre-greased. However, URSR recommends checking them yearly/bi-yearly to see if they need to be re-greased. I don't fully remember what grease they recommend, perhaps someone else can help with that.

"Q: After setting pre-load, or after driving for a while, I see some grease coming out of the bushing, is that normal? A: Yes, totally normal. When assembling, we use much more grease than is required. Only a very thin internal layer is required to maintain the bushing"
I inferred this meant that it came pre-greased. Maybe I drew an illogical conclusion, but when I brought my car in for service, they did mention that it was well lubricated.

My F also seemed to still drive straight but the toe was off quite a bit.
I left it up to him so it looks like he just got everything within factory spec.

Is anyone here experiencing alignment issues after replacing the stock LCA bushings? My car drives straight when I'm firmly holding the wheel in place, but if I loosen my grip the car always wants to pull right on flat/non crowned roads.
I don't think it's my struts and lower ball joints because those have been replaced, and I have a square setup and rotate my tires every 5k miles. Before and after these changes the car continues to want to pull to the right.
The car has also been (toe) aligned multiple times at different shops. After every toe alignment the problem seems to be solved, but it quickly loses the alignment and reverts back to the same problem.
I'm wondering if it might be due to the alignment of the bracket?
If you look at the bushing bracket one of the holes (circled in red) looks big enough that it'll allow for a decent amount of movement in the arm. But I'm not sure if any movement is even allowed cause it also looks like the arm would be held static by the other side of the arm (circled in blue).
From my understanding of the LCA bracket design, the preload bolts are designed to not allow the bracket to shift under hard loads. But if installed incorrectly off the bat, would it be significant enough to cause the pull I'm experiencing?
