    question on accessing the ball joint and upper control arm bushing grease points

    the ball joint is right behind the front wheel on each side. the access caps on the passenger side control arm bushings are a bit more problematic. one is at the very front of each arm and can be felt with a finger. i've yet to figure out how to access it with a 10mm combo wrench or, that being accomplished, get a grease nozzle on it. i await advice from the forum gurus. the other access point can be nearly seen in the middle and on top of the arm just inboard and aft of the shock (see attachment). i was able to get a wrench on that and think i can get the grease nozzle to a zerk after one is installed. i have yet to even look at the driver’s side and seek advice at this point.
