When greasing the 4 bushings on a new set of Moog control arms, I can tell 3 of them are full because of back pressure on the grease gun. The 4th just keeps pumping with the grease seeping out the back of the shaft. I called Moog and they said it's normal for the grease to come out but couldn't explain why it only happens for 1 of the 4.

It doesn't sound normal to me and I believe there is a rubber seal in the nut to prevent this so before I go through the hassle of removing the control arm, any thoughts/opinions?

Thanks

I have the front suspension off a 66 and the PO did the 1" drop back in the 60's or early 70's. The holes in the shock towers are 1" below the factory holes where they should be but are not 1/8" back as shown on 65/66 templates.

How much does this matter?

If the shaft is rotated 1 complete turn, that relocates the arm a little more than 1/8" and although close to bottoming out against the bushing everything still moves freely. A-arm spacing at shaft is 7 7/16" as it should be.

Any thoughts about relocating the A-arm by rotating the shaft 1/2 or a full turn or just leave things as they are?

Trying to avoid welding up holes and re-drilling for 1/8"

Thanks

Looking for a pair not rusted to oblivion in area covered by rubber bushings.

Found, thank you
