Clunk when I turn all the way to the left

Right on Muddog. I have a bad zerk that is plugged solid. I tried to replace it but the replacement was a different thread size. Sooooo, when I'm greasing the joints, I take a good zerk off of the other side (after I greased it, of course) and swap it with the bad one, and then grease that second joint. The next time I do a grease job, I swap it back. One of these days I gotta get a zerk from the Dealership, but this works in a pinch. Never let your joints/fittings go without grease, and as you can see here, a plugged zerk is no excuse. Blazee or BLT please post the thread showing the 11 grease joints again, it is too good.

You can also change the zirks to angle fittings, they come in 90 and 45 degree. I just did this on my inner and outer tie rod ends and it makes greasing them much easier. ( mine were 1/4" thread.)
