MOOG Upper Control Arms.. pre lubed?
I just bought new MOOG upper and lower front ball joints for my 2001 2WD Ranger with Coil Springs. The lowers came with zerk fittings. The uppers which I bought the whole upper control arm with ball joints allready on them, did NOT have any zerk fittings on them, MOOG # K80052 & K80054. My question is..are these upper ball joints "pre-lubed" already? And if not how do I lube them? I could find no info if these parts come pre-lubed anywhere, unless thats a total given, forgive me!!
Thanks for any info gang..James.

If they're sealed & without the removeable screw in plug caps, like my old 78 Merc had, then you can't add grease fittings & yes they'll come pre-lubed for life, as long as the rubber dust boots stay intact.
The TRW upper & lower BJ's I had installed last fall on my 4X2, both came with grease fittings. installed.

upper control arms
I pressed my new upper bj's into stock control arms to save $$. Stock bj's had no fittings, new TRW's have them and now I have to lube every few months. Consider yourself lucky if they are lifetime lubed. When I did lowers, one had a fitting, the other did not and they came out of identical boxes and fit perfectly - go figure!
