2008 E350 Ball Joint Question
The upper and lower OEM ball joints on my 2008 E350 have plugs in the center-bottom of each unit. Can the plugs be replaced with grease fittings?
Thanks!

Thanks for the quick response. The treads seem to be metric. Would a 6mm fitting be correct?

Sorry, I don't remember the size off hand, I would bring one of the plugs to the part store with you.

My 2008 only had plugs on the bottom ones. Yes they take grease just fine, so I dint know the thread size.
