Like I mentioned yesterday evening most of us just pump the grease gun till grease comes out which generally is 2-3 pumps. Continuing to pump ... all you'll have is a pile of grease on the driveway under the bushing. That's how any open bushing greasing goes whether it be on a farm implement, the bushing on your rider mower's front wheels, or the suspension on an RV. Also ... the grease will not pass thru the bushing all 360 degrees of its ID ... it will usually just squirt out in a smaller area as grease will follow the path of least resistance. Now if you're talking about a rubber booted greased item like the end of a tie rod a few years back ... just pump to you see the boot expand a bit. As has been mentioned several times on any RV forum ... taking some of the weight off the suspension as with the Level Up will help in the greasing.
