    Grease nipples. Steering linkage.

    Hey, can anyone tell me where to get grease nipples that fit into the steering bits. My truck '94 GQII has little bolt heads where grease goes. I like mail order if that's option. Aditionally, when pumping grease, if small amount of grease exits uni joints and an airbubble popping sound happens. What does that mean?

    YNOT may be able to tell you what grease nipple it is. And air is ok to escape from uni joint. As this means it was a litle dry I believe.

    Places like Repco sell grease nipples. Take the blanking cap out when you get there and ask for a couple of grease nipples with that thread.

    As Tim said the popping sound is normal as the grease moves through the joint.

    Any compedant parts retailer will help

    I just bought some for my GQ
    I think they were cheap like a buck or 2 each

    IF you can get one nipple thats a 90 degree for the left side
    Thatll make it a touch easier when you grease it up
