Added zerks to my upper ball joints
'Started with a front end noise when turning to park. Examined lower ball joints and found both sides boots torn. Ordered new MOOG's, installed and greased. Parking fine now, and steering much firmer.
Still had suspension rattles @ low speeds. Drilled, tapped & installed zerks in top of upper ball joints. Greased to fill upper boots. Voila, suspension knocks disappeared, and I bet I'll get 9 more years out of all ball joints (2005/1500/Hemi/106Kmis).
PS: In 1965, I proved to Chevrolet that "Lube for Life" didn't work. Put your own zerks in before it's too late.

well yeah that's a no brainer,If their making noise and you grease them. The noise will go away. The grease takes up the space that has warn in them. But if their making that much noise I'm willing to bet that their already gone enough that you need to replace them.
