Default LCA Question

I have the Hotchkis LCA and Pan Hard Bar. The question is on the PHB the grease fitting are normal size for a grease gun but the one's on the LCA are smaller, what do i need to grease them?


Also the other night i was driving and hit 2nd and heard a loud thud/clunking? What could this be from I looked under it and didnt see anything wrong. . . but haven't put it on a lift to get a better look. Thanks for the help!!!!!!

As for the clunk try tightening the bolts for the upper panhard bar. This happen to me about 6 months ago.

I've had my LCAs on for almost a year and I haven't tried to grease them yet. Now that you mention it every now & then I get a thud when getting sideways. I think it may be a little wheel hop & with the bushings they have on the Hotchkis LCAs it's louder than w/the stock ones. For the most part I don't get any wheel hop though and I think they work great.

The clunk could be the TQ arm mount. It's hard to tell if the bushing is bad without pulling the TQ arm down. Mine looked good but when I pulled the TQ arm out I could see where the arm was going up and down through the bushing and hitting the metal bracket. I installed an ES bushing in it's place.

Make sure all is very tight as sometimes the nuts may back off.. I use a bit of lock tight but not too much...
