Default Stupid BMR LCA question

Ok I have a question.

I have the BMR LCA's and I'm going out to get some Silicone grease. But the thing is...ummmm....where do I put it on the Lower Control arms? I see that there are like two little nuts on them, do I put it in there?

They're called zerk fittings. You use a grease gun to shoot the grease into the bushings. The end of the grease gun clips onto the zerk fitting.

Yep go to Sears or auto parts store and pick up a mini grease gun like this, it usually comes with alithium grease tube.

So do you put in Silicone grease into the grease gun? I was under the impression that you put it on the out side of the bushing to eliminate squeaking.

1. get greese gun
2. get greese
3. put greese into greese gun
4. connect the greese gun to the zerk fitting
5. pump the grease gun
6. disconnect the greese gun
7. repeat steps 4-6on other poly bushings

Greese me up, Scotty.
Use the silicone on the bushings prior to assembly.
Use the zerks to apply grease after assemble for a
squeek free rear end.
