I just looked at my new one, sitting on the dining room table, and noticed the same thing. No, I was not sitting on the table, the idler arm was.

As far as I remember, the only zerk I've seen on those has been on the body itself. I guess you could add one to the ball joint portion, but they usually wear out in the shaft part anyway.

Did you get a part with a "lifetime warranty"? If so, just replace it every year or so like I do.
