[TR] Lower A Arms & Zerks

[A Daniel Cronin]

>From looking in the TR2/3A, 4/4A  manuals, they show the lower A arms with zerks at the outer and inner connections with the trunnion.  The 6 manual does not indicate these fittings.  I have several different A arm arrangements in my misc. parts bins---some with zerks per the manual, some with zerks at both inner and outer ends, and some without any at all.  The NOS arms I obtained have nothing.  I am assembling a 6 front suspension on my 55 TR2 and seem to remember a post showing how to fit a pressure oil can to feed zerks on rebuilt suspensions using neoprene or equal bushings.  What are the opinions out there on oiling vs greasing vs nothing in modern suspension rebuilds?  Would appreciate all input before I drill and tap new A arms.....thanks.
