My buddy and I had a 12 pack and and a grease gun on hand yesterday so we decided to give the saggin wagon a chassis lube. We started on the drive train and it took 6 beers or so to make it all the way to the back diff. (I'm sure there's somebody who figured it out better than myself, but I had to take the front end of the driveshaft off of the transmission to get to that zerk. I imagine you know which one I speak of).

To the point, after we hit all the fittings along the shafts, I went to the front and hooked up to the fitting on the ball joint on the end of the tie rods up front. After a good pump, grease came out from under the rubber seal. Assuming I busted it, how long can it go before I need to replace it?

Also, the manual indicates there are two points near the driver side wheel that need greasing. Just to double check, where are they exactly?

these are wear and tear items they will at some point in time start to become loose with age no matter how much you grease em. the boot just helps hold the grease in and keep sand and stuff out (even tho some will still get in) but thats just part of owning a vehicle.
