should i be concerned that some of the grease fittings require very high pressure on the grease gun to make the grease flow into the fittings. in particular, the four fittings on the rear suspension, lower arms near the differential don't seem to accept any grease. two other fittings on the front suspension, upper arms were tight, but would flow.
body will be re-united with chasis sat.
thanks,

Rear bushing require no lube. The fittings don't do anything - hence the high pressure. I made the same mistake - even replaced them before Alan set me straight ;)

The arms have a nylon bushings now instead of needle bearings, no place for grease to go.
