Why did those brilliant Germans not put a simple grease fitting on the upper control arm? It is beyond me. Even my riding lawn tractor has grease fittings in all the right places, but then again it is a piece of engineering from years gone by. It is older than my Mercedes.
Well, no grease fitting? No problem. My wife is minus one turkey flavor injector syringe in her kitchen. I put some electrical tape over the upper hole on the needle and left the lower one open. I took my grease gun and filled the lower half with red grease and poked that sucker right into the rubber grease cup on the upper control arm and filled her up!!!
Can I use it on my turkey next Thanksgiving? Wonder what that red grease will taste like . . . hmmm.
I might just give ol' Emril a run for his money! A new moist Turkey recipee!
Maybe this will buy me some time till I can fix it the right way.
