Moog Idler Arm Question

Quick question for you all...

I bought a new Moog idler arm to replace my old worn out unit. There are three things in the box that I am unsure of. I did a search and even found a thread asking the same thing but he never said what the rubber boot thing is, I assume the small bits are for a grease gun as I read?

Here are the pieces in question, primarily the rubber piece:



Thanks!

Yeah it goes on there to keep dirt out of the joint basically. And yea you're correct, the two small things are grease fittings, they just thread into the holes on the back of each ball joint basically.
