Chad, Up where the A-Arms Mount to the Frame, there should be a Shiny thing Sticking out. That is the Grease Zerk.

That is crazy i would be sending them back or something. I dont think the caps will protect them from breaking off.

NACS, He has the A-Arms you want to get. You might want to check out the Grease Zerk thing before you Buy the A-Arms.

The reason the zerks are on the bottom is if they were on the top,,when you compressed your shocks fully,,they'd hit your frame and really break off. My houser arms have them and I've not had any problems with them braking off....MOOC,,what the heck are you riding over to brake them off??

I don't think its a design flaw or a problem,,there tucked away pretty good,,the bottom of your a-arms have to be bottoming out and your hitting your frame and arms to brake them off..:confused:

Thank You Rico. Do you have any Pictures of the Zerks? I don`t really understand how they are on the Bottom.

I don't have pics but when I got them I called houser cuz I thought they put them on the wrong side,,they said Nope. Once they were installed I seen that they have to be on the bottom..

That`s Ok. I`m sure Houser knows what they are Doing.

The only way mine can break off is if you unbolt the shock and let the a-arms fall all the way down and the zerks hit the frame. If the shocks are attached, there is no way they will hit the frame.

Chad, the zerks are for greasing the pivot bushings with a grease gun.

I don`t really know how the Zerks could get Broke Off either. I think Moocazen is Riding in some very Hard Stuff. I`m with Jeff. The Zerks shouldn`t Break Off.

Yes Chad knows what they are Now. It took him a little while though.

I`m sure the Zerks are Fine or the Companies wouldn`t put them there. They know what they are Doing.
