On my DeLorean I never knew there were zirks until I went to clean the upper suspension arms. They were caked with dirt and grease from 90,000 miles of driving. I had to use a chisel to scrape the build- up off :( > My other vehicle is a Suburban, too. Together with a DeLorean, the two can handle just about any transportation issues I need. :-) Amen! I talked with the manager of the shop. Apparently, one or two of the zerks had been overlooked for the past 15,000 miles (so it looked like they had never been touched). I watched the service tech this time as he put the grease gun on all the zirks... the sad thing was that he didn't wipe the dirt off - so now I have dirt inside my ball joints wearing them down. You just can't win! My advice would be to wipe the zirks down before taking the car in for a lube, then kneel down and watch the guy do it correctly. Because of the dirt I might take the car to the dealer to have them remove the seals and clean out the dirt, then re-grease.
