Greasing stock ball joints?
Since the stock ball joints have been deemed to be rubbish, I was wondering if anyone has come up with any idea's as to how to grease them (yes, I know they do not have a grease zerk as standard).
An old trick we used to use on sealed bearings was to drill a very small hole and use a grease gun attachment (sort of like a needle attachment) to get some grease into them. Possible to do this on the ball joints, or can I go one better and drill and tap them for a grease nipple? OR should I just resign myself to the inevitable?
