Awesome post and yes, a needle fitting like that and NOT the kind that's super thin actually sharp is what you need. If I might ask, where did you find yours? I know they can be hard to track down.

O'Reilly's as I recall.

The needle adapter the the op posted the pic of you can also use them on a standard zerk to grease. I use mine to lube all of my jeep instead of swapping out the tips. If u have a stubborn zerk that doesn't like to take grease or one that hasn't been greased In Years they work great on them.

what type of grease you recommend using

Im looking to do all the balljoints and control arms this weekend, Thanks for all the great info.

Thanks for this info. Much needed after my Dynatrac balljoint install.

They have one with a bend on it? I can't get the fitting on squarely enough to get grease to go in. I have RCV's. Also, I had to remove my front Adam's driveshaft to get to the flat zerk fitting.

I picked this one up locally and it works great on the lowers

If EVO uses the large 2.5 Johnny Joints, the 1/4 x 28 is the correct grease zerk.

Haven't had issues in the past with my lowers. Till today. I rebuilt them yesterday, now no matter how hard I try it won't take grease. Maybe I'll try putting the old flush zerk back in.
I ended up pulling the two alan screws from the top and pulling the zerk out. Then then put the point in where the zerk goes. Pumped till grease came out the holes in the top and reassembled. So I know there is grease in there now. Hopefully reinstalling the old zerk will make it a bit easier again.

Sometimes the zerks bottom out. Loosen it a half turn or do and try again.

I tried that as well, thinking the same thing. Might be a bad zerk. I still haven't put the old one back in to check though.

Synergy lower Ball Joint grease question

So had the ball joints replaced, shop put some Synergy ball joints and the lower ball joint doesn't have the nipple, it has the other grease fitting that uses the needle. I saw a post a while back where WJCO showed these but, I can't seem to find it. what kind of needle for my grease gun do I need for these?

Merged here. Should be it.

I would say every oil change.

I talked to Dynatrac on my prosteers a couple years ago and they said only grease then every 6 months or so as they won’t take much grease.
