Greased

[Blaqjak21]

Haven't posted here in awhile. Just wondering what parts if any and how often do they need a new application of grease? I was trying to search on the interwebs but couldn't find anything

Unfortunately most of the parts from the factory are sealed units, so even if they are supposed to be greased (such as the ball joints), you are not going to be able to do so. Just another way they can get you into the shop faster.

Yeah, you'll find that the stock ball joint boots crack at about 50k miles and the ball joints start to go shortly thereafter. If you want serviceable (greaseable) ball joints specify MOOG parts be used when the factory ones are replaced, they're serviceable.
