    Picked up a pack of ten zerk fittings from Grainger for my TC control arms.
    No matter what I did I couldn't get the TC zerks to face the wheel.

    Took about a half an hour trying all ten to get them in a position so I can grease the bushings.
    They are snug but not real tight, thinking about using some blue Loctite on them.

    I think they're more for wind noise and water spray as you are driving.
