Default Assistance needed

I AM WRAPPING UP A FRONT END JOB THAT INCLUDED STRUTS, CONTROL ARMS, AND STABILIZER BARS/BUSHINGS. I GET AROUND TO GREASING THE CONTROL ARM BALL JOINT AND THE BOTTOM IS SEALED. A ZERK FITTING WAS INCLUDED BUT THE INSTRUCTIONS DONT SAY TO GREASE THE BALL JOINTS. PLEASE ADVISE ME ON HOW TO PROCEED

THIS IS THE CONTROL ARM

That fitting goes in the center of that ball joint, pull out that plug and screw in the fitting.

Thanks a bunch you saved my life. I had no clue what to do and the instructions don't mention it at all.

I just bought two control arms I haven't installed yet... but I don't recall getting the extra hardware

They were the "police" spec ones though I dunno.
