I have a 2002 Dodge Caravan. I went to grease the front grease fittings on the suspension and steering components (zirc fittings), and my trusty grease gun of 20 something years wouldn't work! The symptom is, the grease gun fitting is slightly too large, and the grease just oozes out and doesn't go in. I tried using all my strength to hold the grease gun fitting onto the zirc fitting, but it still oozed out because the zirc nipples are a bit smaller than normal. This is true for the left and right sides. This same grease gun works fine on my 2 GM cars. I looked in the store, thinking that maybe they've come out with new grease fittings since 20 years ago, but all I see are one size, and the same size as what I have. Am I missing something here?
