4. One on each A-Arm pivot. The uppers are a real bear to get at.

I was noticing that when I had most of the front plastic taken off my Spyder. I saw those grease fittings and thought "What a pain it will be to get at those things".

I'll be changing those with 90 degree fittings.

Re: grease fitting
Might want to just put the 90 on your grease gun .....

Re: grease fitting
Yup, a 90 degree fitting on the top rear A arm. The others are OK. Don't forget the synthetic grease

I remember someone asking that question also and the engineer said that the threads on the grease fitting aren't always cut the same in relation to the 90. So when they would tighten down the grease fitting, it may end up in the right orientation but it may end up in any other orientation. If it ended up with the 90 facing 180 degrees out of where it is supposed to be, that would be bad.

Re: grease fitting
Absolutely true. Ask any plumber what happens when a 90 degree elbow makes up half a turn from where you want it. You can't always get another half turn to get alignment.
