Hey everyone,

I have a question, I just replaced some of the front suspension including the lower ball joints. Well got everything back together (finally) and torqued down. Drove to the grocery store (about 3 miles away) and when I was coming back, I realized I forgot to grease the new ball joints! Didn't notice any noises out of the ordinary. Got back (total of approx 6 miles with a few bumps here and there) and immediately greased them. They came with a little grease in the housings (noticed the blue grease when I put the zerks in)so they weren't dry. Do you think I screwed them up? Again, don't notice any noizes and the car does drive better. Really don't want to do that job again anytime soon! Thanks.

There made to take a beating 6 miles is nothing
grease them again when you change your oil
 
Cool. I figured as much but never forgot to grease new ones before and didn't know how critical it was. Guess the sometimers is kicking in.
