You get a 90° zerk and it goes on the spindle for the tire swing. You need to make sure the zerk points down so you have access to grease it from under the Jeep.

See the attached picture...the zerk will be installed into the yellow circled area and provides grease to the spindle housing. Once you reinstall the factory plastic bumper, access to this zerk is a bit difficult which is why it's important to point the zerk downward.
