Is it possible to add a grease zerk to a FT trac bar? I am tired of having to unbolt every few weeks and grease.

 

Pull it apart and cover it liberally with white lithium grease. 5000 miles later no more loud annoying creaking. Good luck.

 

yes, 2 ways

drill hole, tap, make sure there is a hole all the way to the middle, thread in zerk

drill hole, make sure there is a hole all the way to the middle, screw in self tapping zerk

 

Ah, i have done that 3 times within the 6 or 7 weeks i have had it.

 

Can you get zerks at most auto stores? Do they come in different lengths?

 

So i did it, i added a zerk to the front trac bar. Super easy and seems to work nicely, deffinatley couldn't hurt.
1. I drilled the hole all the way through the bushings and metal sleeve with a 7/32 drill bit.
2. Clean out the sleeve and drilled hole from any shavings
3. Then i used a 1/4 tap in the hole to thread
4. Screw in new zerk a presto!!

Hopefully no more taking the trac bar out to grease. What a pain in the ass that is!

 

 

Ask and you shall recieve. The only thing i would have done different is change the location, i didn't plan that part very well.

Where is the correct location?

 

the best spot would be about 180* from where i did. that would give the best access to the zerk.
