Front lower control arm zerk fitting

[zee]

Hi all,

I don't have a third zerk fitting on my front lower control arms :-

184538

It's fully sealed. Is there a zerk fitting somewhere else that I am missing?

You answered your own question... sealed

Appears that they've gone to a sealed lower joint which can't be lubricated.

Thanks both.

Not to hijack this thread, but it did get me thinking about greased vs sealed joints.

There's a lot of discussion on the subject out there on the WWW, consensus being that greasable joints only work if you actually grease them LOL.

Given that most FFR owner/builders are pretty much hands-on, you'd think that they'd be greasable.

It may be that greaseable are no longer available.

Sealed joints are lubricated for life. When they fail that's the end of life hahaha
