Grease on bushing - is this a train smash??

Hi guys

I had my car in at a local garage yesterday to have the rear drum pads replaced as well as have new lower control arm bushings fitted. From the bit of reading up I did on the interwebs, it seems that people recommend a dry lube like silicon spray to lube the mounting process of the bushings.

When I inspected the installation I noticed grease was used (see pic). Is this a train smash? Should I insist that they be removed and cleaned - then remounted?

Thanks folks!

Sloppy work.
Grease also works


How much did they charge for labour?



Yeah I agree - as long as it doesn't represent a danger I'll learn from this and just no use them again.

Was charged R400 for both (labour only, I supplied the part).
