i have a steel shaft in (pure) teflon bushings. is it advisable to use grease on them? the idea is mainly to keep dirt out, but i wonder how it would influence friction and if it even might be harmfull to the material. (shaft moves by about 20°.)

Roulon is a better choice and no lubrication. Keep it dry.
lots of options for seals, but it would complicate the situation considerably. so friction could increase with lube? ill keep them dry, iguess.
From what I've heard so far, I think dry with a dust boot sounds like your best option. Dry without a dust boot is probably next best. Teflon is pretty soft so any contaminants will probably embed themselves and not cause too much harm unless it's really dirty.
Any dust or grit that gets impregnated into the Teflon will act as an abrasive on the shaft.
