Default LCA installation

what size sockets are needed to install some LCA's? I know 15mm isn't big enough. Also, does the little metal nub face the car or the ground?

Faces the ground. It's a zerk-fitting for a grease gun. If it was facing the car you wouldn't be able to grease the LCA's. Make sense?

yea, i got it. just finished installing them, and am getting alot of noise from them. At first, things were smooth until I went over a mild bump...heard a loud POP from the passengerside. So, raised it up again and loosened the bolts a bit on that side. Now, I'm not getting loud pops, but more creaking. The bushings already had a bit of grease on them, and had no problems slipping them into the place. Is this normal function or is it still binding?
