Sealed ball joints are not designed to have grease added. They have been permanently sealed, and can only be replaced when there is a problem.

You should use the hi-temp wheel bearing grease and not the off brands I might add.
Remove wheel Loosen nut on ball joint stud(s) Hammer or press old ball joint(s) out of control arm (with control arm supported) Properly install new part with ball joint press Install grease fitting and properly tighten new ball joint nut Install new cotter pin Add grease to ball joint and assemble all parts in reverse order of removal
If these are the factory joints, there is not a 'zerk-fitting' for greasing it through.I read a tip somewhere - probably here on WikiAnswers! - that a needle attachment to the grease gun could allow you to get "some" grease under the boot.Even without being able to add grease, they do last quite a while - but like all suspension components, they're going to wear and need replacing some time.See "Related Questions" below for more
Have all the moving parts checked in the steering, and grease whatever joints that can be done. Most Ford steering parts do not have grease nipples to add grease. So, they might have to be re-placed.
Every year you should change the oil, grease all the joints, and add fuel stabilizer before you store it for the winter.
There is a special socket that is used. I had to add a little heat also.
The hub bearing needs to be properly lubricated. Having access to a grease gun helps. Use the grease gun and place some grease in the bearing. These will help keep it lubricated and functional.
No, that would be very dangerous.
Being sealed, no water can evaporate, and it all stays inside.
On most modern sealed batteries you do not have to add water. On batteries that are not sealed you should check the battery monthly. If you have to add water only add distilled water and never tap water.
It can be caused by lack of lubricant. There is a check plug on the side. Remove it and you should be able to touch the grease with you finger. If you can't, add 90w gear oil until it runs out of the fill hole. Grease the u-joints while your there.
