Default Got my BMR LCA's, Question about the Grease Nipples

I just got my BMR Chrome-Moly LCA's. They have the Poly/Rubber combo. My question is, why isn't there a grease nipple on the rubber side, but one on the poly side? They is a hole, drilled and tapped, on the rubber side but doesnt have a grease nipple on it, there is just a set screw in the hole. Anyone care to explain? Thanks!

When they build there LCA they don't know if there going to have the poly/poly or poly/rubber ends installed so they just drill and tap both ends, if you have the rubber end and want to change to poly someday the hole will alreay be there for you. BTW, you don't grease rubber.
