After all the discussion on lower A arms TB sockets letting go I decided to check mine on my 74, I found a cap with grease fittings over the end. is that normal, I don't recall seeing any caps on any of the lower A arm photos.
Also I know that alot of people say that the wheel spacers exasperate front end problems but doesn't it almost equal out each other with all the hunting and corrections thus the strain put on the front end from humped roads that they are still a good ideal. I 've found if I'm on a concrete highway or a newly paved road my beast drives like 15 passenger van but a road with even just a slight hump it returns to an "E" ticket ride. If you know what E ticket means your showing your age. Thanks again.

Skip,
All of the lower A arms came with the fwd end of the socket capped. None
came with grease fittings.

Must be a PO upgrade for some reason. I know I sometimes see things other people don't see but I did put a grease gun on them.
