As a heavy duty mechanic I can say big rigs use the same style of spring pins that are greasable. A lot of them use a completely round pin and the bushing has the grooves for the grease to disperse though. Any time you see wear like the old pin has you know it's not gonna have a happy ending. Some of the new bushings have a teflon lining with "bumps" so the low spots can hold grease.
