Lower Ball Joints

I was reading my Ford Shop manual, prior to replacing the lower front ball joints on my 2005 Screw and read that I needed to use an adhesive on the joint. The manual only stated to use the included adhesive, but I b ought NAPA joints that do not come with adhesive. Does anyone know what type of adhesive I need? Thanks

I also have been treated well by using Moog.
Avoid the cheap jobber brands.

I read on this forum that a guy named Ed was selling balljoints that sounded good, and also at a good price.
