Default Adding zerk/grease fittings?

About to replace all of my control arm bushings with poly, was wondering about adding zerk fittings to battle the potential squeaks.

Also wondered if adding them to the ball joints is possible.

Anyone have any how to links? I looked, didn't find much SC specific.

I considered it when I replaced both of my lower control arms. Mine are seeing severe duty on a race car, so I thought it would be helpful. I just couldn't get the right taps the weekend I installed them so I didn't do it, plus I just wasn't sure of exactly where to put the fitting and would it get grease where it was needed. With uncertainty, I was a little leery of drilling into a brand new $300 part. If you get it done, let me know what you find out.
