Ummm...
Buy a 2014 RT; NO grease fittings!
Wait... :shocked:
Is that a GOOD thing? :dontknow:

Yes they are there and a B*tch to get to.....If you going to grease yourself get some 45 degree angle ones and replace the offending ones with them ....that way it will be easier next time ...............It helps if you have a gun with a flex hose ......Mikeguyver :thumbup:

[billrob71]

45 degree fittings sound like a easy answer
I have seen the fitting on the end of a grease gun that exits out the bottom for right fit

Have to agree..!!

:agree: pull the frunk. You can give everything the once over clean and tidy up. Then lubing is a breeze and you can check dps wiring and connetions...:thumbup:

6mm. I bought mine from McMaster Carr.

 

[BajaRon]

This is what I did...

Saves all the hassle of changing out the zerks. Just another way to skin the cat (if cat skinning is your thing)

Yes, that's what post #5 in the link I provided states.

 

[BajaRon]

Yes, that's what post #5 in the link I provided states.

The only reference I see in that link is that someone purchased a 90 degree tip but then was going to go out an purchase the zerks. Doesn't sound like they tried the tip first.

Anyway, works for me and comes in handy on other vehicles as well.
