I need an additional opinions and possibly options.
The grease zert for the ball joint in my LCA is in the way of the steering arms.
The problem is because Air Ride has an over sized ball joint which is mis-matched to the drop spindle I'm using. I'm not blaming one vendor over the other, I just have an opportunity to be creative in solving a problem. Preferably a reliable solution.
My though was to relocate the zert to the inside of the arm, completely out of the way.
However, the just isn't room to drill the hole or run the tap for the threads.
My options appear to be:
Difficult- Drill a hole to work through and then weld it closed.
Easy - Use a set screw in place of the zert and put the zert in place for greasing the ball joint. Swapping them out shouldn't be a big deal. I'm just not sure sure how well the set screw will seal.
Does anyone have other ideas or thoughts?
Here is a pic with a quarter for size reference.
