None that I know of... unless you add adjustable sway bar end links (like what comes with the Hotchkis sway bars). I now have 8 zerks to deal with.

What kind of grease do you use? Have you had any problems with squeeks from the Hotchkis? Thanks, Mark

I have greased my C5's by the use of a grease needle. You attach it to your grease gun, stick it in the rubber ball joint boot and inject until the boot has grease in it. You can get one at NAPA. There the biggest nastiest needle that you could ever imagine! They work well!!

I'll let you know in the spring... I just put them on the other day while my C5 is "under" for hibernation.

That is a cool idea for the "sealed boots".
