Zerts
I want to add some grease zerts to "grease less" front end joints on a 97' blazer, any tips or suggestions, pros cons, would be great!

Those fittings were designed to be sealed for life. I think if you drill a hole and insert a zerk you may actually damage the joint by adding grease. I think by adding extra grease you will blow out the original seal provided by the manufacturer. I'm not 100% sure of this but that's what seems to occur to me. Anybody else have an opinion or better knowledge of these fittings.

I would leave it be. They are designed that way for a reason.
