I just bought a 2007 Eclipse Attitude toy hauler. In advance of our first adventure, I went through the brakes and wheels bearing this weekend. My question is regarding the wheels bearings grease fittings. I removed and repacked the bearings with fresh grease after inspecting the bearings. I noticed that the forward and rear axles differ. The forward axle did not have a zerk fitting although there is a threaded hole on the end of the axle which I assume will accept a zerk. If the zerk fitting was there, the grease would be fed to the outside bearing. Conversely, the rear axle does have a zerk fitting at the end of the the axle with the grease being fed to the inner bearing. First question is: why the difference between axles? Secondly, should I put a zerk fitting on the forward axle and give a periodic pump or two from the grease gun?
Thanks in advance!
