Greasing or lubing shock bushes? or not?

Should you grease or lube shock bushes, I have TFT heavy duty mounts on my shock. Should you ever lube these where the top hats go in or do you just run them dry?

cheers

No lube, you’ll destroy them.

they’re self lubricating, and supposedly grease holds contaminants in place, increasing wear

I use a drop of Finishline just to help protect the steel from any moisture but apart from that, nothing.
