Default Bushing lube

I have a stupid question...I am not clear on where the lube go's some say it go's where ever it meets the metal and some say dont do that becouse you dont want the bushing to move inside the bore just where it will pivet... I am going to do the hole car and want to do it rite. I know the upper front control arm's are going to be the hardest so getting rite is key.....

I have looked at all the poly post first b-4 asking....thanks

Bushing lube has to go where there's friction or it's useless. Yes, you lubricate wherever the bushing meets metal and no the bushing isn't going to move. Make sure you use the correct lube for the type of bushings you're using.
