I believe there is a video (or a couple of them) on YouTube from Eric. I did this recently and used Hi Temp Disc Brake wheel bearing grease. Not a lot, but a liberal amount.

Try this one, start watching the video at the 9 minute mark:

Have fun!

I did a thread on this last Summer.

When I talked to Erc....he had me bond the bushings to the control arms with JB Weld.

I then shaved them down so that the serrated shoulder on the pivot arm engaged the console mount.

I installed a zerk fitting on each bushing and there was a recommendation for the grease from Eric... a slicone product...I'll have to find the thread as I have run out since I installed mine.

That was two Summers ago...no problems.
