Hi all,

Picture attached but due to a shortage of spicer 709644x ball joints, went with the Yukon ones, but to my surprise the lower joint had a Zerk fitting…in a test fit with just sliding the axle in, it looks like it either just barely clears or just barely hits, so my question is do I grind it down a bit to ensure it doesn’t hit or remove it and just cap the hole and just pull the axle when I want to grease the lower joint?

Solution found, speedway motors makes low profile Zerk fittings…buy direct, they cost four times as much on Amazon as they do on speedway! Sadly have to wait for them to arrive though!

Edited - buy was but
