Default Greasing Teraflex Control Arms..
Anyone else notice that when they grease the Johnny Joints on the control arms grease only comes out one side? The other side is bone dry and collecting dirt. Cant be good..

Loosen the zerks alittle then grease it, see if that helps. Most of the time if it comes back out, bad zerk.

Those Johnny Joints are tough tough tough to get grease in. I talked to Clayton about it last year - it's a known thing more than a problem (they're tight is response I got) and like no worries = just rebuild them when needed since the Currie parts are readily available.

Yes the grease is getting in there because it is coming out of the joint however, it only comes out one side of the joint.
