Yea, those look like zerks to me. Just thought they didn't do that because grease attracts dust and defeats the purpose lol. Guess that doesn't apply here, - and may actually do it some good ..
Another thing to watch for at the sway bar,- those bushing bolts can get damaged in such a way, -leaving one side of the hold down loose. You can achieve torque when the bolt binds in the threads. You think it's tight, but it's not, - not yet. Those can strip out and are a PITA to fix because of location. They're threaded thru the frame from the inside. On the older models anyway.
It's a stretch, but nothing else seems to working lol.

We got about 1/2 inch of rain this morning. First rain in 2 months. Got the wheels changed out last night and stored. Those things are entirely too big and heavy. Glad that chore is behind me. Mowed this afternoon. I'm getting too old to live like this! LOL

MIL is going to be OK, whatever she has wrong with her heart can be controlled by medication. She is home now, and so is my wife.
Oh and my son is 14 today. Happy Birthday, Austin!!!
