Hello,

I did a search but couldn't come up with anything. The short story is this: I purchased Moog tie rod ends and Moog ball joints pressed into FLCA's from PDM racing about a year and a half ago. As some of you may know, the Moog tie rod ends rusted through and snapped off on the highway.....

Should I be concerned about the ball joints? I see that they have zerk fittings, but I never greased them as I assummed they came pre-greased! Barring the need for grease, how can I determine if they need to be replaced?

Thanks in advance!

jack the car up and pull on the wheels, if they clunk around, you need new ball joints.

If they are still good, you need to grease them.

Did you also not grease the tie-rod ends?
