You've made a sound statement referring to the fact that the grease tends to sit around the top bush Titus.
On over-greased cars, one can see piles of grease sitting at the bottom of the top spring and around the damper plate for radial bearing when fitted. Often there's so much that it risks contaminating the brake capiler and disk. Constant vibration or a good thud will dislodge the build-up of grease nicely!
The grease rarely gets to the bottom bush. This is the main area for wear. It's where the main pressure is presented to the kingpin/ stub axle assembly particularly when cornering. Combine this with all the lovely road debris and grit thrown up off the road and one has a most effective application of grinding paste wearing away the bearing and surface.
