I'm going to have to replace the ball joints on my '97 Max pretty soon, and I've been looking everywhere for some greaseable units. So far everything I've found has been a sealed unit, accept for one offering on rockauto.com. The description says its greaseable, but unless I'm looking at it in person or an actual picture of it I'm not taking they're word for it. Are there any brands that make a greaseable unit? If not, anyone ever try to rig one of a similar fit to your control arms and had a SUCCESSFUL experience with it? Lol, thanks in advance

 

By the way, I already searched the stickies and other threads and couldn;t find anything, thats why I'm posting here. Thanks

 

whats wrong with sealed ball joints?

 

They never last as long as greasaeable ones. Always wear out prematurely. If you puncture the boot most of the grease leaks out and you can't regrease them. I'll always take the option of something I can continually lubricate over something I can't.

 

I prefer a self lubricating option myself

 

Ive never had a problem with the moog ball joints. Pricey yes, but very nice and I would venture to say on par with OEM

 

+1 I think in regards to BJ's there's not much, if any difference between OEM & Moog....but I hate to open this up but what about OEM vs. Moog Stab/End links??

Besides the obvious of sealed OEM vs. greaseable Moog links?

 

end links are about the same too, very good quality as you would expect

 

Thats what I was thinking

 

only issue, and I dont know if this was a freak thing but they included the wrong bolt size with the end link. IIRC the correct size is 14mm and they gave me a 15mm. Weird....

 

Either flaw or just a matter of a difference in parts I guess, but I agree why change it!?
yea 14mm is OEM as far as I know

 

who knows. Moog FTW though

 

+1 Just not sure what to do when my TR's & TRE's go--do I utilize my Nissan hookup or go Moog? Hmm
