I searched a bit, but could find no "helper" on what to do (or not to do) regarding orienting the direction of the grease zerk fitting as I pressed in my new set of MOOG K3199 LBJs.
For a 4x4, MOOG makes a LBJ with a side mounted zerk. Top center mounted zerks cause clash with CV boots at worse, inaccessibility at best. The direction at which the side mounted zero is pointed as it is pressed in can make or break serviceability (regreasing).
My approach was to align my zerks onboard and 45* back. Thought is to ease access from the rear of the front tire when each front tire is cut hard to lock toward the opposite side (steer hard right to access driver's side zerk, and vice-versa).
