I do not see any lube on front bushings, but I do see it on rear bushings. I guess the best thing will be o remove the retainers on the bushing, remove the bushing, lube her up and reinstall.
Also you can drill a appropriate size hole on the bushing bracket and bushing. then put a grease (zirk) fitting, self tapping .now you have a point for maintaining greased bushings
