Zerk/Grease fittings in control arms
Does anyone have a diagram or photo showing which of the control arm grease nipples (or zerk fittings) are the 90-degree type and which are straight?
I remember that a couple of them at least are 90-degree ones in order to make lube jobs easier, but I didn't keep track of -which- ones are. Thanks! Dave

Re: Zerk/Grease fittings in control arms
Dave, A quick flip hrough the service manual is showing straight on he lower fwd and 90* on the other three. No telling how accurate that is, as manuals often reuse "close" pictures.

Re: Zerk/Grease fittings in control arms
According to the assembly manual... 1971 section:
Straight fittings at all 4 front positions. Right angle fittings at all 4 rear positions. Tops perpendicular to side of frame, pointing outward. Bottoms pointing down/vertical. Jim |
