Damn. Guess DC wan't to be the target of a class action lawsuit. Sure
it doesn't just have a plug waiting on a zerk? Guess not from the article.
Love the way DC tries to sweep it under the rug.
Glad my ZJ has zerks.. Come to think of it it's time to squeeze some lube
in there.

The same can be said of the ball joints in most current production
vehicles, and it isn't just from the lack of a zerk. In addition to the
bean counters who eliminate zerks, blame also lies with whatever moron
decided that plastic is a suitable ball joint material. The ball joints
on my S-10 actually started to go bad with less than 30,000 miles on the
truck, despite frequent lubrication, and were replaced under warranty.
When I bought that truck I was shocked to find that there were actually
11 zerk fittings on the front suspension. It also had a slick remote
oil filter with an access door, which was way better than my Jeep's
setup which dumps oil all over the side of the engine and the skidplate
when the filter is removed.
In conjuction with our tire shop, my dad used to rebuild front ends and
the cure for crappy late model ball joint problems was always to install
MOOG all-metal joints. The OEM joints may have been okay on the
interstates they were designed for, but they sure didn't hold up on
rural Alaska roads.
Question: Does the Durango/Dakota use a solid axle front end like the
GC or is it IFS?
