    Yours looks similar to my tight new balljoint (not oem style tho, but still). I believe factory joints are sealed, no grease zerk, same as mine..so if too much comes out that’s bad

    Oooh look, another mod.....

    Brake cleaner contains chemicals that can dissolve or weaken rubber, causing it to swell, crack, or become brittle.

    Installed ARK splash guards on all 4 corners today. Fit nice and tight not bulky like oem. I had to remove oem fronts when I put on wheels/tires 17x8.5 0 255/75/17 the other week.

    I’m not much of a mechanic, so I’ll defer to those with the knowledge. It was something I saw on a YT vid. So it can’t be wrong can it?
