Track rod end with no grease nipple? Is that normal?

Post by thesmithsUK »

Just finished greasing my Morris (for the first time since I bought it in the Autumn) but was surprised that the nearside track rod end has no grease nipple; only the offside one does.

I'm guessing you can buy them with or without? Or is the nearside rod end a rogue?

My car has a grease nipple on the left and none on the right TRE. More modern cars would not have any
