Looking for pics of grease zirks on a-arms
I plan to put them on with oil light bushings and then powder coat the a-arms and rear suspension
Did you use drive in or will they go to deep?
Anyone weld them?
Use striaght or 45 deg zirks?
Do you have to grease the bolt on the a-arm or just the bushings

If you install ZERKS on your front arms make sure to PLUG the holes going to spindles from bulkhead...or else you'll be PUMPING grease for a long time, you'll fill the arms going to spindles! I just spray a good quality lube on bushing area and oil makes its way in, I've got 10.000kms on my '08 APEX w/OEM bushings and are not worn, had 12.000kms on my RX1 '05 when I traded in with OEM'S LUBE is the secret, lots of LUBE.

I welded the holes shut on the botom arms and used jb weld to plug up the upper holes as they are deep in the tube and hard to get tig welder in to weld completly.
On spindle lower I used a 90deg zerk pointed up and all other places just straight zerks.
