Or just coat the whole thing with grease and do it later. Where's  the 
grease going to go?
 
Have fun  today,

Dear  Forum,





I am making preparations for the Run to Phoenix  and
discovered that the plastic seal around the front lower ball joints is  shot
on the left and starting to fail on the right.    IIRC they  were replaced
about ten years ago.



The Dumb Question: can one simply replace only the  failing seal
and continue to use the ball joint or must a new ball joint be  placed?





Its always *something*,   Chuck
