Squeaky Ball Joints?

[mpho]

Are squeaky ball joints grease able? If so, how? Or, do I just need to replace them? Mine are OEM. Thank you!

OEM are sealed non greasable units.

How many miles? Might be time to replace

Are you sure it’s the ball joints squeaking?

the lowers aren't really serviceable. if it's the uppers squeaking - then I would put on some aftermarket upper control arms (like the SPCs - which have serviceable/replacable balls).

{EDIT - oops, didn't see what forum this was as it came on email. below was on my 100 series. Same advise applies to bushings tho}
FWIW, my squeaks were thought to be ball joints were actually the drop link bushings on the sway bars... and the lower arm bushings. they just dried out.

I ended up replacing the lower control arms with OEMs at 250k miles and due to some dumb-understanding of an inspection station in MA, had to install new upper balljoints last fall -- so was happy I had SPC's . While they were in there I had them put in some fresh OME shocks and she rides tight again.
