I recently greased my frame bolts/bushings (Icon Delta Joint), and to get the grease to flow through the bushing I had to loosen up the bolts. Would loosening these bolts warrant an alignment?

You should not have to loosen the bolts #1I recently greased my frame bolts/bushings (Icon Delta Joint), and to get the grease to flow through the bushing I had to loosen up the bolts. Would loosening these bolts warrant an alignment?
I didn’t know that. Learned something new. Icons wants you to pump grease until all the old grease is out. Where almost every other bushings on the market want to be torqued before greasing.@Quick_Shifter , With the Icon UCA's that's how we do it. You'll damage the bushings if you didn't loosen those bolts.
@RVA Ram no you won't need an alignment. You won't need any special grease either. with the truck on the ground, loosen up the bolts, pump your frame bushings and DJ with grease, then tighten the bolts to factory torque and enjoy.
Grease recommendation from Icon.
This is what i use in my Icons Delta Joints every 5k miles. Not a single issue, zero noise.
Have fun.
Hey can you tell me more about the icon UCA’s? How did you decide on them and any regrets in that decision?Just wanted to revisit this and say the Valvoline worked like a charm. I disassembled the frame bushings and wiped all the old grease out and recoated with Valvoline plus I pumped some through the bushings and they are very quiet now.

Thanks for that infoI ended up going with the Icon's based on ram1500rsm recommendations. I had Zone control arms before and the Icon's feel more planted, but that's just my butt dyno telling me that. No regrets with the Icon's so far except for I wish I would have just gone with them first instead of switching from Zones. If you go with Icon's I would recommend chasing the zerk threads prior to installing.
