    From his post yesterday:

    Has it really been a month? Gawd I suck. Anywho, I had checked under the VX a few weeks ago and didn't see any fittings, but after checking the VX manual it agreed that they should be there (never should've doubted!). I FINALLY looked again last night and there they were; covered in crud but def there. Greased em until grease started to come out as suggested. Unfortunately the one on the rear joint has been dented so I'm gonna look for a replacement, but took it for a test drive and the noise is 95% gone! It was too easy! I'm gonna grease everything!

    Seems to be that the zerk is bent/dented and he can't grease it...

    That's right, just the zerk fitting is bent. And now that I say it again, I guess I can probably try and remove the fitting and just replace it. No Advanced Auto near me, but good to confirm that it's the same part!
