You can buy zerks (grease fittings) that screw into the middle of those joints and replaces the greaseless "caps" or needle fittings that are on there now. I did this to my pitman arm when I had to replace that. Any auto store should have them--I bought mine at Schucks. Hope this helps! By the way, I grease 14 zerks every time I change my oil on my 92 CC 4x4 3.9L.

Subject: DML: Ball Joints
While changing my oil this weekend I noticed that both ball joints, upper
and lower on both sides could use a little grease. However I noticed also
that neither has a nipple to attach the grease gun to. So I went to the FSM
and it says that if equipped then you can grease them. But how do you grease
them if not equipped. Any help would be greatly appreciated. My thoughts go
to Sir Bill as he recuperates.
