I have a 2004 scrambler and was a little concerned with the lack of grease fittings. Is it a good idea to put some in the front control arms? Or would it just be a waste I noticed other model years have them.

 

the 04's come without grease fittings in the a arms?

wow, i guess i never noticed. why would they do that? every other year atv has em. weerd

Thats what I thought.

Are they "new" sealed bushings? Or should I drill/tap fittings into them?

 

I was looking all over my scrammy when I had it all apart and found only 4 on the whole thing. 1 on rear axle, 2 on rear arm, 1 on front drive shaft.

any more that you found?

 

I have all those plus 1 on each a-arm, 1 on each ball joint, 2 on the steering post, and 1 on each front axel u-joint. That makes 12 for me[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]

 

on my 04 scrammy 2X4 i've got 7 that i can think of right now, 2 on the swingarm, 1 on each a-arm, 1 on each balll joint, and one on the rear axle. havn't found any on the steering post, but if anybody knows of them there please say so. but otherwise 7 is what i've got

 

I believe that they eliminated the lower steering post grease zirk in 01 (?). But take off your hood and look at the upper steering post bushing. There may still be one there.

 

I only found 5 on my 2004 so far, One on the back axle, 2 on the swingarm, and Im forgeting where the last 2 are. Ill have to inspect it tonight when I get home from soccer practice. If you know any more please post them for a 2004 scrambler! Thanks

Ok.....So.... is it worth it to install fittings on the control arms or not? Thanks.

 

You could if you wanted to, but the bushings are sealed. I dont know whether or not it would work.
