Default full traction control arms

Hi,
this is one of my new full traction front lower control arms that i received from quadratec the last week:





How you can see, there are two holes; also the small hole appears to be a zerk grease point, but, in the box there are only two zerk fittings for the big center hole.

The questions are:

- what is this small hole?
- the control arm must be installed whit the zerk fittings up or down?

thank you to all

I haven't touched the FT control arms personally, but I know it's rebuildable. The center hole is the zerk fitting. The outer hole should be where a retaining screw for the fully assembled joint goes to lock it all in place. But I defer to someone who has actually worked with these arms.

I always keep my zerk fittings faced inward towards the center of the Jeep so that I can get to all four by rotating back to front while underneath.
