Which bushing are you talking about? Has this bushing ever taken grease in the past?

Sometimes a little heat will open up things and you can pump it back up, if you have seals don't do it .Not sure what your set up is. There is a tool that you can get that you can fill with fluid and it attaches to the fitting and you hit it with a hammer and it will clean the fitting it is called a lock and lube grease buster.

Maybe remove the Zerk and chase the threads with a tap. Could clean things up and push out any clogged grease. I ain't a mechanic.

They're the part where the trailer hinges on the back of the frame. They used to take grease but wont after winter.

Yea I’d say bushing spun. Is there a way you can mark the end of the bushing and pin with a paint marker or file? This will tell you if it’s spinning.

Raise lower multiple times, trying the zerk with few pumps each cycle. If you can’t get it to realign , drill thru the bushing to the pin to allow grease through.

Good luck with it

"Sometimes you cain't tell what's in the pickle barrel til you take the lid offen it." That's what my grampaw always told me.
Tear it down, clean it up, and see whats in there. It'll probly jump out at you.
Or do what farmer tomahawker says and move on.

No. I'm probably just going to grease it daily, that may give it enough to not cause issues and if it does go fubar I'll cut them out then.
