Are the new ones going to have grease fitting?

My dealer told me,
They had more warranty issues with customers pumping too much grease in the grease fittings and have less problems with non-greaseable!
I'm not buying that one, since both sides were done within 2 weeks of each other at 20,000 miles! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img]
I even offered to pay the difference to upgrade! They said NOPE! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]
So I guess I will be okay till 40k when I can put my own GREASEABLE ball joints in! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img]

Mine would squeal every time I turned the steering wheel.
It was kind of embarassing in parking lots. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
