Grease Fitting + Moog Upper Ball Joint
    #23590802 - 08/29/16 05:01 PM (7 years, 4 months ago)

I bought Moog control arms with upper ball joints that are greasable.  They came with tapered straight grease fittings, so I bought a couple 90 degree grease fitting from Home Depot.  However I didn't realize they were not tapered.  So when I tried screwing in the grease fitting the threads started to strip.  I decided to tap the grease fitting in lightly with a hammer.  It looks good and snug, but then found out it wasn't tapered and I approached it wrong.  I should've screwed in the tapered straight grease fitting first, remove it, and install the non-tapered 90 degree grease fitting.  I'm kind've worried if I go install it, then later the grease fitting will pop out when greasing at 4500-10000psi.  Any experience here?

not that big of a deal, get a slightly larger zerk fitting and a thread tap to tap it to that size

I knew they exceeded 3800psi because that's the range of the gauge I blew out
checking pressure on a grease gun
