It's never happened to me, but you can simply grease one bushing, then unscrew and remove the zerk and use it on the other one. You can buy a new one to replace it if you want to.

Did you try to contact Hotchkis or the store that you bought them at? What Black Betty said makes sense but I feel like if it is missing something the store or manufacturer should replace it or fix it, ya know?

Did you get them new or used? If you got them new, like I said, contact the store, vendor or manufacturer explain the situation and politely demand a fix, whether a new part or a new zerk.

IMO
