48 plymouth uprights

There should be zerks on all the greased joints/fittings ? Two on each of the A arms where they attach to the frame, one each on the upper and lower pivots for the uprights. Look on both sides front and rear of the upright pivot bolts assuming this is your question.

The upper outer seals can only be installed when the upper assembly is apart, yes there is a tool listed that acts similar to a shoe horn in that it allows the seals to "slip' in with the camber bush, however I have installed seals that were similar to a large, thick "O" ring without this tool and they work fine or you could make a tool from a piece of scrap metal........also what type of upper arms does your car have?...........original mopar ones are welded stamped steel and have a protruding area on the inside where the threaded area is that helps to centre the rubber seals which are tubular or hose like........however if your car has an aftermarket upper arm such as that made by MOOG it is solid cast steel and the "O" ring style seals are much easier to use...........whichever you have the seals can be installed without the tool its just a bit more fiddly..........btw welcome to the best mopar forum, these guys know their stuff.......btw do you have a workshop manual as this is a definite advantage.............andyd
