I've been putting off servicing my rear suspension linkage for too long, so I'll be doing this over the winter.

Has anyone fitted grease nipples to the dogbone? Having searched for quite a while on other forums, I've found several posts about contemplating doing this, but none where someone's actually done it.

I've a slight worry that drilling & tapping for nipples might weaken the dogbone - or am I being a touch paranoid?

Also, any recommendations for the best location for grease nipples?

Thanks.

Nope - far more hassle to fit these than stripping, cleaning and re-packing - it really isn't a difficult task and it's not as though it needs doing every few weeks.

also, wouldn't forcing grease in cause problems for the seals?
