I agree, that outside u-joint does present an awkward maintenance
problem.
Has anyone in the 4A/250/6 community ever drilled an access through
the trailing arm? It wouldn't have to be large, maybe 1/2", then you
could get to the zerk with a needle. Don't know what that would
do to the integrity of the trailing arm, it is a structural member so
you would be changing stress distributions.
