About the only ways for grease to come out at that point is, first of all, the actual ball joint or 'A' frame housing is a slightly out of spec or, worse, you have an 'A' frame that is a bit wallowed out, cracked or distorted. With ball joints there is often an orientation - and with Moogs that I have installed, the instruction sheet is somewhat fuzzy. I would take a real good look for cracks, and if none were seen, drive it !!

One company, I think it's TRW, makes oversize ball joints for just this problem, I used 'em in a 72 Camino with good results.
Although it's usually the press-in joint that's O/S. The bolt-in ones like in the picture shouldn't be a problem.Last edited by R Pope; 03-16-2007 at 05:49 AM.
