[QUOTE="John Zuber, post: 1022026, member: 59842"] Ok, got my parts today (on-line). One of my upper ball joint assemblies came with a grease fitting hole, but without the nipple. The other side came without the capability of having a grease nipple. The vendor offered to return the assembly that's has the missing nipple and return an assembly with one...but that the other assembly, the one without the option of being greased, is correct as is. So...I'm going to see if I can get a grease nipple from a local store and install it into the assembly with the tapped grease hole. Question....since I have a tap/die set, could the top cover of the other assembly be drilled and taped so that a nipple could be installed? The top cap looks identical to the cap with the threaded hole, and seems to be the same thickness. What do you think? [/QUOTE]
