Alright,..Thank you again. I'll go to Napa tomorrow.
I don't like the idea of them not having a way to grease them.
( Napa is only a couple miles away too).

If you are taking it this far apart, you will need to remove the lower a-arms to have the old ball joints pressed out new ones pressed in. Order the complete urth bushing from summitt racing and have new ones pressed out and in at the same time. While at it, heck take the upper arms off and having the new bushing pressed in them too. $60 bucks for both sides and comes with grease. It will quiet those old trucks squeaks and squauks you get. I changed everything, took two days, but really worth it in the end. It is one of those things to just do when it is torn apart that far.
