I took a few pics when I was out working on the car today to try to throw together a basic install guide for grease fittings on poly bushings. Any criticism and comments are welcome before I throw this up on freshalloy/zilvia.

In this picture you can see the center groove of the bushing. You're going to drill through the arm and into this groove.

Mark the arms/spindle while they're installed on the car to find the easiest access to the grease fittings and to make sure the fittings won't interfere with anything when the suspension moves through its travel.

Find the distance from the edge of the bushing to the center groove. You can use almost any small object to get the distance. I used a caliper.

You don't need an actual number for the distance. Just take the distance you measured and hold it up to the area you marked on the outer shell of the arm.

I scribed a small line in the paint with my punch.
