Default newbie grease question

So I went out and bought a nice grease gun, got it all primed and ready. Do I need a special attachment to grease my LCA bushings? There is an adapter on the lca itself, I assume that it where i grease them.....How much should i Use?

There should be a fiiting that looks like a nipple called zurk fitting. The grease gun should already have a female end on it. Just push the female end over the zurk fitting. You should feel it click on it. If the control arms are new and have never been greased before it may take a lot, if they have ben greased before three to four pumps of the gun is good. When I grease my ball joint and tie rod ends you can see the grease bags expand with grease and you gauge by the bag expansion. With there being no bags on the LCA grease will start to ooze out when there is enough.
