what kind of grease and where can i get it? and how do i apply it? do i have to take them completely back out to grease them?

You need a grease gun and you might have to take them or might not it depends on if you can reach the fittings, which might have not been installed from the factory. Was there a little hole about 1/8th inch or so in diameter at the end of the control arm (where the bushing is)?

I'm at work we have a block on photobucket[&o]
yeah you have to take them out to grease them right. just do one side at a time.

hopefully that fixes everything i just bought some mobil 1 synth tube grease gonna cover them this weekend
so if i had the stock stamped control arms and directly replaced them with those...no matter whether i was raised or lowered if the stock ones worked fine then these should be fine too once propery greased since they're supposed to be direct replacements correct?
