    feel its best to lub ball joints and tie rod ends enven though they are sealed
    anyone have thoughts on drilling and installing grease fittings?
    or using the old needle trick to add grease thru the boots? might just leak out?
    or raise boots to add grease?
    all comments and suggestions welcome
    thanks

    Topping up the grease is something that I do on cars here but I don't see how you can drill the ball joints as they cannot be dismantled. If you drill through the casing on the base of the ball-joint you may get swarf inside with no way to remove this.

    I would just stick with the stock setup - they are designed as replaceable items - and simply change them when they show signs of wear.
