So I removed the needle bearing and bushing. Looks like they split the bushing to fit the metal rod (poorly) and there's a metal tube inside. I'm guessing it's supposed to be like an older style metal grease tube?

The kit listing mentions a metal grease tube 21A396. The part number search leads to this, but the tube I removed from the arm doesn't look like it.

If it was meant to be ready to go, the bronze bushing wasn't a great fit (too much play for my liking) and split. Selling a plastic sleeve was really confusing. I'll see if the right side one has the same installation.
