This is not a serviceablee part as they no longer put a grease fitting on the original equipment. On the replacement part there is a grease fitting. This should a major safety issue. Had I been going down the highway at 70 mph, instead of backing into a parking space at 2mph, the possible damage, and death or serious injury could have been much different. Check arround, this is not an isolated incident. These ball joints have a major design defect and should be recalled.
