Okay, what is this fitting for that is screwed onto the arm itself? (not the zerk fitting on the ball joint). Can't find any explanation on it what so ever, thanks. It's not a grease able fitting, it's a closed end screwed in. Is it so I can add another zerk to grease the bushings?‍♂️♂️

My understanding from Mevotech is that is zerk in the side of the control arm is for trucks that have air ride in the front. That's the best explanation I received.

My stock arm has that too, i figured it was something they use to align it as it doesn't have a hole like a zerk.

As Fast69Mopar stated it's definitely the fitting for the height adjustment indicator trucks equipped with 4 corner air ride suspension.

It's a ***** to see so I circled it, might still need to zoom in though. Pay no attention to the ****** toe spec this front suspension seems to have bwahaha.
