Wel, the front end of my 73 is lying in my basement in bits. I got the axle beam sandblasted and TIG welded and now I'm in the process of putting it all back together. I figured that while the torsion arms are lying there on my bench would be a good time to lube the ball joints, but I see they are the 'disposable 'kind, ie; no grease fittings. "As far as I know" the ball joints are not in need of replacement, and seeing as how replacements cost CAN$40 up each I'd rather not. What's the net wisdom on lubing ball joints - I thought of squeezing in some grease using a syringe. --------------------------------------------------------------- Peter Williams CANMET work (613) 996-9760 home (613) 237-0717 fax (613) 996-9416 ---------------------------------------------------------------
