Hi GlennPerth.
New ball joints are already greased, you can add some more if you wish, but not too much. Many ball joint problems stem from overgreasing & split boots.

I usually just top them up until I see the boot move because it is full and leave it at that. Dunno if that's the right thing to do or not, it's just the way I've always done it.
Cheers...Dave

The replacements are actually a special rivet, and are attached to the vehicle the same way you attach any rivet.
Might pay to also buy a |
