I suppose I should email Strongflex and ask, I don't want to mess this up.

Also do you guys lube the outside surface of the bushing before pressing into the arm? I would think you'd need to but there is not enough lube supplied to cover both. Plan on using ordinary copper grease.
I know instructions from strong flex said to grease the metal sleeve
