Front Lower Ball Joint Leaking...no kidding!!

[SicMonte]

While working on my prop valve I noticed that something was leaking onto both of my front tires. It turned out to be my lower ball joints!! Have any of you heard of the grease liquefying in the lower ball joint? I did weld them in about a year ago and have since re-greased them with the Valvoline Syn grease that I have always used. Is there a way to drain these things??

Pump new grease in it to flush the old stuff out. Keep pumping till you see fresh grease.

Everything looks brand new. Grease will drip, watch your grease gun after a month b

Everything looks new b/c I clean the underside quite often! I installed these control arms and new suspension set up this time last year. I'll keep an eye on it.

Put a zirk in that threaded hole that looks to be empty on the side in the one photo.... that could be your source of leaking.
