[DeTomaso] A-arm Zirk Fittings

[John Hansen]

Hi all,

Well, I am getting ready to swap shocks/springs to a more modern set of 
adjustable Carrera's and I am getting tired of the urethane bushings creaking, 
especially when they are warm as in Vegas. So, are there any recommendations 
for where to drill for zirk fittings on the a-arm pivots? I know I have seen 
them on some cars and it appears that some are on the bottom and some are on 
the top; is this for clearance or for easier access when you grease them. I 
suspect it is more a clearance issue or else you would snap them off at the 
first bump you hit. I do think that greasing the bushings would also make for 
a more compliant/plusher ride, especially with the newer shocks and springs.
