ZOINKS? ZOOKS? ZEKE'S? I'm sure it starts with Z, but I cannot remember what they are called in the US.
My question is, how many grease nipples are there on a AUS 93, GEN11, Paj/Monty?
I'm greasing, tie rods, ball joints and universals........am I missing any?
Double D jokes welcome.

my haynes says 3 on the upper a-arm.

Who invents these names?
ZERK? it's as bad as our "welch" plug.
Will look at A-arm tomorrow, when it stops raining, and raining, and raining, and raining.
Ever notice how the rain gets heavier, just before a camping trip <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="images/icons/frown.gif" />
Thanks Gents, (Zerks, <img border="0" alt="[Elvis]" title="" src="graemlins/elvis.gif" /> )???

They've always been grease nipples to me, I guess in the US they were originally marketed by someone named Zerk (sounds like a bad character from Lost In Space) and thats how they got their name. I guess it is one of those things..we call it a bonnet the Yanks (I hope this term doesn't offend anyone, if so I apologise profusely now) call it a hood, we say boot they say trunk, we say bum (or ar$e or bottom) and they say fanny, we say fanny and it doesn't mean the same thing AT ALL <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="images/icons/grin.gif" /> !! Hahahahahaha

Required Mitsu content: The big blue ba$^ard (as opposed to the big black ba$^ard, which powers the boat)is due for a service over Easter.

it has been said we are sepperated by the same language. once while I was in Great Briton I almost hit a guy who gave me a strange look than ask's "Fag?" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="images/icons/shocked.gif" /> . turns out he wanted a smoke <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />
Peace,

Yeh, language is weird. To us, a truck is an 18 wheeler, or a semi (trailer). An SUV is a 4WD, our fanny is the "honeypot", your fanny is the "sewer" <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="images/icons/wink.gif" />
A "fag" can be a ciggie, or a homosexual.
So if we find ourselves in a gay bar (accidently), we never, ever, ask the question "Can I bum a fag". The translation is "G'day mate, got a spare ciggie"
