Tried lubing them and they wont take grease, changed zerks too, does the weight need to be off them??

Thanks!

Shouldn't need to be unweighted to grease them. I would have guessed the zerk fittings but if you changed them... is your grease gun the problem? With new ones I am not sure what to tell you. I have used some heat on old ones to soften old grease in the zerk but this doesn't really apply. I would try another gun.

Sometimes if you tighten the grease zerk all the way in it will contact something on the inside and plugs the zerk try backing it off a little bit and try again also take your grease gun and pull the trigger a few times with it connected to nothing if grease comes out good if no grease comes out you have a problem with your grease gun either it's empty broken or has an air pocket excetera. Are you talking ball joint or control arm pivot bolt?
