We have a fleet of 11 Super Duty trucks (all F-350 diesels) and if memory serves me correctly, the older ones have very little clearance between the upper ball joint and the axle yoke. This requires a 90 degree Zerk fitting - which can pretty easily get sheared off. The newer trucks (maybe the ones with the coil srongs?) have much more clearance. Am I correct here?

Note to self. Never post on internet forums whilst on prescription medications for the cold from hell unless you have somebody with a BAC of less than .08 proof read post for you. Of course if you want to look like an arse …
