What is the correct way to lubricate the BMR LCA's? I just bought the poly/rubber combo.

There is a little metal lead on the end of the LCA where you use this "squirt gun" to get the lubricant in there. I had a mechanic shop do this for me since I don't have one.<b>Red 1999 Firebird M5</b><br />Whisper Lid,Borla Catback,K&N,Dual Friction Center Force Clutch,Hurst Shifter w/Lou\'s Short Stick,!FRA,Suncoast Ramair hood,160 Thermo,!maf,Chrome ZO6 Wheels, Painted Calipers, CIA Headers, Taylor Wires, NGK Spark Plugs, 3\" Catco, Jet Chip Stage II, BMR STB, LCA, PHR, SFC, Fan Switch, FTRA<br /><b>Old Dyno Numbers: 183 RWHP, 217 RWTRQ</b><br /><a href=\"http://community.webshots.com/user/redsixer\" target=\"_blank\">http://community.webshots.com/user/redsixer</a>Comment

Its called a GREASE FITTING and you use a GREASE GUN to push grease in there.
I recommend using a waterproof marine grade lubricant on all suspension components. You want just enough in there it isn't squeeking, you can litterally blow the bushings out of the arms with hydraulic pressure if you apply to much grease to the arms.2002 5-spd NBM Camaro

Thanks for all the good info...
I called BMR and they said NOT to lubricate the rubber side.
They also said that the company that makes the poly bushings sells a special grease for their bushings. But it seemed expensive at $20. They told me the next best thing would be marine grease. One pump of marine grease from a grease gun into the grease inlet should do it. The grease should be checked/added every oil change.97 Silver Camaro M5<br />Y87 Package<br />K&N FIPK<br />Flowmaster 80 Series<br />Mille Miglia MM11-2 18x9 wheels<br />Kumho ECSTA 275/35ZR 18s<br />Centerforce Dual Friction<br />B&M Ripper Shifter<br />1LE Aluminum DS<br />BMR LCA\'S<br />SLP 1.8 Rockers<br />ZZP UD WP Pulley<br />H&R Sport Springs<br />Spohn Adj PHR<br />160* ThermostatComment

when I installed mine I put enough grease so you can see it seep out the sides.. I also put some grease in the hole were the bolts go through.. It was easy to install just remember to lower the rear end before you unbolt the stock LCA's or they will fall out with all the weight of the rear coming with it..Jeff ..

Good job, thats how much you need to make it squeek free. 1 pump might not be enough at all.2002 5-spd NBM Camaro

Yeah.. I figured its better to overflow than to underflow.. the excess grease will seep out soon.Jeff ..
