Default Greasing teraflex sway bar links

I am going to be installing my new Teraflex leveling kit this weekend, and the kit comes with new sway bar links with zerk fittings. Are these already greased? Or will I need to grease them, and how much grease will they take and how will I know when I have enough.

Thanks

So did you install them, then grease them? Or grease first?

Thanks

If you grease them before hand you can work the bushing around some and get it well covered.

Be careful... when we carefully took the grease gun off we pulled off one of the zerk fittings.
Love the lift but that sucked.

Oh man, that does not sound like fun. Thanks for the heads up I will watch that.

How did you get the threaded part out after it broke off?
