My Zerks are being Jerks
I have the Teraflex front (quick disco) and rear sway bar links from my lift kit that I purchased used from a member.. The rear are installed and the front are not as I need the sleeves to install.
While putting a coat of paint on the front links I took out the zerks and noticed they were clogged with old greese. Also found out there is a spring in there too. Cleaned 'em out and tried to put grease in. Did not seem to work and just came out.
My question... How well greased do these need to be?.. What am I doing wrong? If I cleaned the front and it did not work.. how much should I worry about the rear, which probably did not get grease either?

That is good advice and I'm not opposed at all, sounds like these should not be a problem to get.. Next question.
The rear are on and I don't think I can get to a couple of the zerks. Would a shot of litium grease be a good idea until I can get to them and get new ones on? Maybe 500 miles of driving?
Also, is the goal to get grease around the whole busing or just a spot of grease to lubricate?
