Default Teraflex control arms question

When greasing the control arms there are two different fittings. On the front lower, what do you use to get the grease in that fitting. The other ones just utilize the standard gun coupler. Also, on some of the arms there is is a hole opposite of the zerk fitting, what is that, a vent of some sort, or do you put a needle in there. I searched I promise.

I just remove the flat zirk fitting and put a normal fitting on and grease it, then return back
to the flat zirk. I bought a needle fitting for the grease gun, but it is not the one to use
on the flat fittings. There is the correct grease gun fitting which cost $20 which is thicker than the
neddle fitting, but I decided to just change the zirks when greasing.

The 2 zerk holes allows you to choose if you want the zerks on top or bottom.

Right. I just switched the one side so they are both on the bottom and easy to access.
