i just ordered the knuckle rebuild kit of eBay with wheel bearings and was wondering if anyone had pictures of where the grease fittings should be drilled and put into the knuckle or if it is recommended at all i plan to do some 60 mph driving for at least 100 miles or so looking forward to your opinion

I personally have never heard of anyone putting a grease fitting/Zerk on a steering knuckle of any vehicle that has closed knuckles like that of Samurai's or Toyota's. As far as I know the best thing to do is once every year or two pull off the whole hub and repack the bearings by hand or with a bearing packer although I have never done that myself LOL and I have had my Zuk since 2000 so it would not hurt if I did that too (more money to spend LOL).

never repacked mine either and my tire shifts back and fourth 3 to 4 inches now
i know ive seen them before they drill through the knuckle and pump it full of grease to keep water out but i cant find the page now
