Clogged zerk fitting (UPDATE)

Both zerk fittings on my sway bar bushings are clogged completely. Any thoughts on how to clean them out? Too many different options online so I want to know from you all.

Determine if you need 90* or straight zerks for EZ lube

The ones that came with the bar when I installed it were 90 degree. Was debating replacing them with straight ones just to create a path of least resistance. Should I remove the fitting and compare it to the new ones before buying them or they all the same style and thread size?davester wrote:Determine if you need 90* or straight zerks for EZ lube

they are not all the same. take one out and take it with you to the parts store to get the correct size..

Turns out they are full of grease. The knocking noise are the rubber muffler hangers needing to be replaced
EDIT: Anyone know where I can get the rubber hangers for the mufflers?

Try a muffler shop. Baron would have them...

New inboard muffler hangers on way from England. £13.68 total. Pretty good deal. Cheaper than the other places I looked including the dealer.
