I religiously grease every 500 miles and have never suffered that problem. I always wipe off excess immediately after greasing.
So, if you are suffering this problem, I question whether you might have remote greasing or, maybe the king pins are starting to wear and letting more grease pass by the bushes?


For the first 10,000 miles I greased the kingpins religiously every 500 miles and have always had this issue. Reducing the frequency of greasing has definitely helped. It's only done 12,000 miles now so I wouldn't imagine they are worn but I'll check it out.
