If you have a grease gun put grease in them after there installed (3-5 pumps ea.). Otherwise you need to pull the bushings out and smear grease all over the inside of the poly bushings.

Hello
Thanks for choosing UMI Performance! Yes we offer a pre assemble packet of grease to put on the outside of the bushings on the A Arms. And then put 2-3 pumps of grease in each grease fitting. If you have any other questions feel free to ask. And I will be more than glad to help.
Thanks
Brad

Hello
I always suggest going with a marine based grease (Holds up better to water). And if you have a grease fitting on a suspension part...Then YES you need to grease them every other oil change...depending on how much the vehicle is driven. If you have any other questions feel free to ask!
Thanks
