I recently bought this car and find that there are no grease fittings on anything, nor are there any rubber plugs where the fittings could go. I've considered drilling, tapping and installing fittings, but am concerned about where tha shavings would go. Please comment. I understand that the ball joints are not replacable on this model and that whole control arm has to be changed. Is there any way around that?

Get an aftermarket arm with replaceable ball joints. Doubt if shavings would fall in.

Good luck and let us know. :)
