Re: Ball joints

I don't think any of the older ones could be greased, unless you want to drill a hole in the original joint. But- you can drive the originals for a LONG time without having to really worry about it. Stupidly I drove one of mine for better than 50k before I replaced it. It made a hell of a thump every bump for a long time! When I pulled it, it had play but was still tight together and wasn't falling apart. Just wait until May. I'm now on my 3rd set. The replacements (Moog) are only marginally better, IMHO. I just did the replacement, so I'm going to try greasing these every 5k instead of every 10k to see if they last any longer. Follow the write-up. It's pretty good.
