How Much Grease Is Too Much?

When greasing the front suspension joints, how do you tell when enough is enough? Do these joints have a hole that lets excess grease out? As my Dad tought me, "lubrication is everything...vehicles and women."

Once again dad was right

lube until it starts to push out of the rubber dust protector, and quit as soon as it does. Wipe away all the excess from rubber boot, and thats it.

What a relief. I thought I screwed those seals up putting to much grease in there. I wasn't sure if the holes were suppose to open upon the first greasing or what.
