I just got mine from Mustangs Unlimited... but they didn't come with grease fittings. Kinda stupid, i buy greaseable balljoints and i have to buy the fittings seperate too?

Anyway.. how easy should the ball joint move around in my hand? They come dry, am i supposed to buy the grease fitting and grease them with a gun until the boot is full of grease?

Thanks
 
Mav, i dont know. im a grease freak, so if it has a hole, i would get some zerk fittings and install it and pump it up with some grease.

im not familiar with a 'low friction' design - Hardman, can grease hurt in there (why would there be zerk fitting bosses then?)?
and what are low friction joints - do they have a teflon coating on them or something? does grease hurt this or create a higher coefficient of friction?

i hate non-servicable stuff. ok, im done. :)
