Keeping grease in Lower Ball Joints?

RacerXS10 · 08-08-2007, 08:56 PM

So um... how is one suppose to keep grease in the lower ball joints. Ya can't press the boot onto anything and with in a day I have grease all over my lower control arms. I used to grease them every week. Now I'm giving up and I think they are on their way out.
Can someone give me a part number for what ball joints you use so I can replace these?
Thanks.

I heard good things, so I bought them. They're probably the most expensive balljoints you can buy for an s10, but since it appears you're bagged, you may wanna think about their durability.

But before you buy those, you may just wanna check your grease boots. May just be those that need the replacing.

Does Air Ride use stock S10 ball joints on their lower arms? Thats what I really need to know. I also plan on pulling my front end apart this weekend. Truck has been bagged for 4 years now so it needs a check up. lol.
