I bought full set of ball joints that are OMIX.
The lower has a zerk hole unlike my orig I took out.
they sent both a threaded plug and a raised 45 degree zerk fitting. Of course, I put in the zerk fitting so the lower can be lubed.
The problem is that is hits the u-joints at the knuckle. So, I took it out and said....ah ha, that's why the orig had no fitting.
now the zerk hole won't accept the plug.
Can I just silicone glue a rubber plug in there to keep dirt out?
I want to do the right thing and not be doing this again in 6 months.
