    I agree 100%. But I am not a fool they can screw other people over but I know better than to pay 80 bucks. I just laughed in their faces and walked out. It is a headache but ill have it fixed in less than an hour so its all good. They will be out of business soon enough.

    Agreed, it's hard to screw over any enthusiast lol. In the grease fitting kit I have it includes and extractor and tap to remove and retap the threads works wonders.

    I would just clean it with a solvent and then apply some silicone caulk, or roofing sealant then deal with it after your trip.

    I angled my zerk to the front for some reason. Either way the shop was lazy or impatient and I would hold them responsible.

    I like the zerk fitting you have the angle is better. The ones that came with the Moog are at like a 45.

    How are you liking the 6112's? I am currently running the 5100's. Looking to upgrade soon.

    you're right. I forgot about that! I discarded the Moog zerks and bought a box of 90 fittings at the auto shop.

    Yeah so at the same time I just think that that's a bad angle but still they broke it they should have fixed it.

    Absolutely worth the cost. Significant upgrade over the 5100 s I use my truck a lot off road and it's the sweetest thing now on and off road.

    I have a friend who lives in Akron works for some company dealing with OLED technology as a supplier.
