Default I REALLY like the idea of installing grease fittings in the new control arms.

all the ones I've pulled have had dried out crusty grease in them, no doubt contributing to their demise.

There's an article in the tech section that shows how one guy installed grease fittings on his new arms. I played around with this on an old CA last time I went thru this on an A4, and will definitely install them on my next set of new ones on anything I'm planning to keep over 10k miles.
