I have the moog ball joints, and mine cleared just fine. I wonder why yours wouldn't. Maybe I just got lucky.

Just take out the 90* fitting and put in a straigt one. Then you get the tip for your grease gun. Wha la Grasshopper.

Just run it....the yokes will only hit for a little while until they self-clearance. Been there done that a lot.

My Moogs, w/90 zerk installed, have at least an 1/8th clearance. Do you guys screw them in far enough? Or is there that much difference in yokes???
