How are you guys greasing your front lower axle side control arms? Do I need to drop the arm or carve out a spot to get in there? Just hit about 12,000 miles since install and running through some maintenance. This is the attachment I’ve got and worked great on the rest of the fittings.

I just drop it.

I just drop it.

Thanks man! That’s what I was thinking, but didn’t want to if I didn’t have to.

Put a 90° fitting on it.

Put a 90° fitting on it.

Well there’s a great idea!! Thanks!

Put a 90° fitting on it.

Thought I tried that and it didn’t fit… maybe it was another joint I’m thinking of.

I believe you are right. 90 will not fit without trimming the CA bracket

Don’t grease the arms and problem solved.

Right.. Grease usually wont go in anyway.

I think the only downside to having 37s is moving them around during a tire rotation. The spare is the one that gets me.

I can imagine that there must be a tool to lift the spare. If I can imagine it, it must exist! Where is it?

They do make tire lifts. There's even a hook to hang your purse when you use it

Well definitely need to balance the tires after this trip.
