I'm replacing all of my tie rods, drag link etc. I've been buying parts in a kind of piecemeal fashion from various manufacturers. Now that I've got them all, I notice a difference among them. Some of the rubber ball joints on the ends are easy to lift up, and are full of grease. Others cannot, as far as I can tell, be removed and I'm not sure if they're packed or not
My question is, does anyone know what I need to do? If I can't get inside to pack it with grease can I assume it doesn't need packing? And does that make this an essentially non-serviceable part? I'd hate to put this together only to find out something is un-greased. And I also don't want to go tampering with rubber joints that may not be designed to be removed.
Thanks for any help you can send my way!
