How to Grease Truck Ball Joints

Video Transcript

"Hi, my name is Nate McCullough on behalf of Expert Village. In the following clips we're going to talk about the correct procedure for replacing your upper and lower ball joints on a two-wheel drive, full sized vehicle. In this clip we're going to talk about the proper way to grease your new ball joints. I'm going to grease the upper one first, just so you guys can get a good look at what we got going on here. I've got my grease gun, we'll take it and pop it on the zert and pump away. All right, that's going to be enough for that one. You can't see the bottom one. I'm going to go ahead and stick it on the zert which looks the same as the upper one. They come from the factory pre-lubricated, however they don't have enough grease for you to be able to drive on them. So your going to want to grease them before you load the suspension and go driving around on your vehicle's ball joints, without them being greased. All right, and that is the proper way to grease your ball joints."
