Hidden zerks

Maybe this is well known but it was a surprise to me. I am replacing the a arm bushing in my 15’ vector. When I pulled the nose cone off the lower a arm bolts have grease fittings in the end of them!! My pics say file to big but I thought it was worth a share. Not sure what year they did this. The front cone comes off with 6 philips head screws.

Really I had no idea
Can you get at it from above by removing the center part of the hood?

I will have to look when I reassemble. They are very low in there if you had a 90 degree fitting on the grease gun possibly. The panel is real easy to remove tho. Only the bottom a arm bolts have them would be nice if the uppers did to.

Yes, only bottom bolts for the lower a-arms have them. The same holds true for the newer Apex's:

Its not really below its kinda just in front you would not have to jack the sled up or anything. It is just the very front panel under the bumper.

I have a 14 and 13 Vector LTX and 15 Venture GT and they all have these fittings also. I greased them but it looked like there was plenty of grease in there already (was coming out the end) from the outside upper arm zerk so I probably won't even bother to grease these in the future.
