i have finally installed the new a arm and i now how 2 different styles and i notice the one with the extra brace has smaller tubing i noticed this because my plastic protector now rattles on the new a arm i really dislike new things maybe i'm getting old huh!

i enjoyed farting around with my bike but for the life of me i couldn't get the ball joint switched out but my dealer hooked me up FREE good guys!

also i was greasing my machine and i know high octane posted it has 21 zerks but hell i could only find 18??? mystery?? i think yes

 

David-There is 1 zerk for each front A-arm inboard mount for a total of 8
There is 1 zerk for each rear A-arm inboard mount again total of 8
There is 1 upper and 1 lower zerk on each rear bearing carrier(outboard end of a-arms) for a total of 4.
There is 1 on the rear of the front propshaft to lubricate the splines.
Which 3 did you miss? I bet prop shaft was 1 right? lol

 

yep the prop shaft was one (side note) would ple prop shaft be the geared end? of thedrive shaft and if so why lube this it should be a rigid connection no???or is it to go in and out to take some of the torque....
what i found is the 10 in the rear a arm area and 8 on the a arms and 1 on each wheel where the a arms connect,the front i found 8 all on the a arms near the frame i looked on the steering and couldn't see any and none on the yolks??figured there would be some there for sure...

another quick question and the front transfer case there are two (what look like large zerks) covered by rubber plyable caps are they breathers???or what??

i have never been into maintenance but i have to learn sometime but i am figuring out i need a atv stand!!or even on one site i saw an actual hoist so you could fit two in the space of one!!hmmmmm

The on on the prop shaft zerk is at the tranny end..it is a splined conection but i guess it can move in an out a little,hence the need for grease..

Both of the outer ends(upper and lower) of the rear a-arms on mine have zerks..so there are 2 on each bearing carrier that houses the outer bushings. 1 for the upper A-arm and 1 for the lower..

Those 2 "zerks" on the front diff are actually bleeders for the ADC system.
