Cheaper to use non-lube joints and bushings.

The JK is kinda like my wife. She is dry and for the life of me I can't find a zerk. I discovered if you spend about 1200 on control arms you will get 16 zerks that you can lube. Oddly enough I spend 1200 for the wife and she doesn't need a zerk......at least for a day or so, then she is back to dry and squeaky.

Maybe you're using an inadequate grease gun...
