After installing the new bushing kit I realized that these two areas were the only places that did not have grease fittings. The A arms and the column (on the 2010 Vector) have fittings but the outer A arm to Knuckle have no means of greasing.


Purchased M6 x 1.0 straight grease fitting at Canadian Tire
Spotfaced .500" Drilled #8 drill , tapped for M6 x 1.0

Nice. But based on your GPS mount, clearly you are more skilled than I at drilling and fabricating. Mine were in rough shape, had to jig them into the drill press to sand off the rust. Now I'll just pull them either every season or two. My buddy with the 2010 said his were in good shape compared to mine. Maybe it was riding in the solid rain in the New Brunswick trip this year, which he didn't make.
