I plan on just changing the grease zerk to a 90 degree one as soon as I find the right metric threads. If I buy more adjustable control arms they will definitely be Teraflex arms.
if you go to your parts store, you should be able to find a 90° narrow clearnace grease gun tip. rather than pushing the point of the tip onto the zerk, you slide it on. this is what i had been using anyway.

I'm no expert, but...
Once bolted in place the length can't change. These ride on bearings and use fine threads for adjustment. These came highly recommended, though I haven't seen any reviews, I figured I'd give them a shot. I'd love to hear from people that have experience with these.

I don't care for them as I'd prefer a flex joint (Johnny Joint) in at least one end. With no jamn nuts I think the threads will eventually wear more than if they were jamned.

I'd say go with Currie or Clayton.
