OK, this is a stupid question but I have killed off too many brain cells to remember....(multiple college experiences)

Does the bushing grease go:
a) sway bar/bushing opening
b) bushing/bracket interface
c) or both

on a sway bar with poly bushings??

Feel free to let me know that I am stupid for asking.

Lubrication

Use the supplied grease only, follow the manufacturers directions, and mainly grease the frame mount bushings.

It's OK, we all are operating on diminished capacity here!

You're definately not stupid for asking, if you dont know, ask. You'd be stupid for not asking and then having something go wrong and you might end up hurt. I was doing a brake job once and ended up droping the car off the jack cause i was doing it on a slight hill with nothing behind the wheels, could have killed myself, but i got lucky. THAT was stupid.

I imagine you're probably not going to hurt anything by putting too much grease on. I would just grease all the points where there will be motion and friction.
