Just a note to share some experience. When I first looked at the top ball joints, where the zerc is located, thought it would be a pain to lube. By rotating the u-joints(also greasable [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img] )I was able to feed the flexible nozzle of my grease gun up through the u-joint and latch onto the ball joints zerc and lube it. I think I counted 8 zercs on the front end.

Do all 08 Super Duty trucks come with greasable ball joints now? Or just the F450s?
