your balls are squeeking lol ball joints should have a greese nipple on them just greese them up with a greese gun.
Where should i look for the nipple :)
on a ball joint it is on the top on the upper control arm

on the lower arm it is under the lower one facing the ground.

on a power ball there should be one on the side of it somewhere.

sometimes they dont get put in for some reason or another so just remove the top cap lift the cylinder and grease your balls by hand
Well aight ive checked around and couldnt see one, but ill look again tommorow when its light.. thanx i dont think i have power balls though, probley more like the normal cheap ass ones, i just said power cuz i dont know what the others are called
YOU PROBLY NEED TO SCREW A ZERK FITTING IN THE BALL JOINT IT WAS PROBLY NEVER INSTALLED THEN LUBE THEM OR GO TO LIKE A RAPID OIL CHANGE PLACE FOR A CHASSIS LUBE :biggrin:

wd-40 stands for Water Displacement-40 . it will work as a temporary lubricant. but its not even close to what you should be using. you need grease

i zerk fitting is a fitting thats going to screw into the base of the powerball mount and alow you to snap your grease gun on it to grease you powerballs.


its not rocket science bro, but you really do need to do a search instead of starting all these stupid ass topics and slowing down the server
Aight well thanx for the help, why the hell couldnt you just put that in the first place.. and ya ill try lookin through the shit a lil more, but why can you just help a person, i dought it slows this shit down that much
iF its not to much to ask, could i get a pic ?
O aight tight, ya mine dont have that, so i just need to install those lil things, can i just buy them straight from a auto store since its a pritty common thing, or do i need to buy a certain type?
some didnt have fittings,like cce one's i had,you would have to unscrew the top piece-take out the ball and just grab some grease and put it in there then put it all back together

i bought a bunch off e bay just like that.


if you grease it real good before you put it together you shouldnt have to grease it anymore, the grease will probably out last your cylinders o rings
aight so am i taking the cyinder off to get to the balls, and then taking the ball joint out? Does it just unscrew?
