RE LCA install and ball joint end rebuild ...input?
« on: October 09, 2009, 06:08:03 PM »
Im rebuilding the ball joint style ends in my Rubicon LCA's....it appears I didnt realize the first person to have the arms failed to put in the zerk grease fittings in and now the joints are pooched.

I got the whole rebuild kit, looks pretty straight forward Im thinking..

But, I've heard mixed things as to which way the LCA's are installed.....?

Is this the correct way for the arm to be installed?

RE arms have the zerk pointed up or whatnot. aka the offset part is in teh axle end, and the level part is facing down.
