grease fitting balljoints
Hey guys, i'm looking to replace both upper and lower balljoints on my truck. Is there any aftermarket balljoint with grease fittings for the lower balljoints (if there is where can i purchase a pair). For the upper balljoints can i replace them individaully or do i have to replace the whole control arm?

I just completed replacement of the lower balljoints with Moog balljoints which came with the 90 degree zerk fittings. My only suggestion is to screw the fitting into the balljoint before pressing the ball joint to the lower control arm, to be certain that the threads are good, as I had a little trouble with the threads on one balljoint. These were purchased at a local independent auto supplier who since sold out to Advance Auto Parts.

Sorry about not answering completely. The upper ball joint is part of the upper control arm assembly and it needs to be purchased as an assembly and I could not find one with grease fittings. Moog didn't have it and neither did TRW. You will need to plan on a front end alignment also if you replace the upper control arms.
