stiff ball joint is exactly what you want when you buy one, this is an indication that it is good.

Nice job Richard, not flaming you here, just some food for thought. The biggest problem withthis method is everytime you drill, there are shavings going into the ball joint and sticking to the grease in there, you can't blow those out, although some may come out, Id say compressed air would just push the other shavings in deeper. When you tap you should of filled up the gaps between the tap teeth with same grease you are injecting into the ball, the gaps between the tap teeth are intended to be filled with grease to catch the shavings and to keep shavings from getting between the tap teeth and you new threads and causing damage to those new threads. You did flush it, but I would recommend just take off the boot as its a simple thing to do and that way you can super flush out all those shavings that are in there. Keep the boot on, the grease is harder to get out and thus the shavings and the shavings may stick to the side of the boot. with boot off and a 3 flushes or so your ball join will probably be near clean of any shavings. Just one more thought, although you measured the static clearance of the ball from the top, that changes under dynamic load, how much I sure wouldn't know but physics says it has to. I don't know if the pre made greaseable BJ's are just what you did or fact in some additional bumper room? Just a thought to improve on your excellent work and instructional video. -D

@johnjoseph7382 7 лет назад
each time you use a new drill bit you introduce more shavings into the ball joint unless you use grease but it's advisable to just use one drill bit, but you want to put grease on the drill bit to catch as much shavings as possible

@richardstone5241
@richardstone5241 2 года назад
If you put a little grease on the drill bit the filings will attach to themselves to the grease preventing them from getting inside the ball joint. Also, if possible, always buy greaseable ball joints when replacing non-greaseable joints. Ball joints that are greased on a regular basis rarely wear out.

Having been in the military responsible as a terrain vehicle driver, the vehicles were equipped with grease nipples for the vehicle to be long term functional. Earlier days, even consumer vehicles were equipped with these. But I guess that doesn't render any money to spare parts manufacturers. Good job! As previously mentioned, the shavings from the drilling and drill bits might be an issue.
@richardlloydusa
@richardlloydusa 3 месяца назад
Thank you so much for your service Sir. I did not have any issue with the shavings. You could blow it out with compressed air but still no guaranty that it will clear them all. I figure what is left is very small. I use nothing but Moog product now as I found they are so superior to the regular no name stuff and they come ready to be greased with the nipple. They last a very long time (if you grease them regularly) every oil change for me. Thank you so much for commenting, watching and the very kind words. I appreciate it greatly.

Yeah, shavings are a bit worrying but high air pressure “rinse” remedies this somewhat. If ball and suspension is both metal I would think it would be good nonetheless as long as you yearly relubricate the joint.

I like that you took the ball joint apart. I have ball joints that should not have gone bad so soon and have wondered if there was any grease in them from the start. But. Will the shavings from the drilling and tapping get inside and do any damage? Great video
@bobjohnson8206
@bobjohnson8206 6 лет назад
Excellent video, one recommendation I also put a plastic cover over the end of the zerk fitting to protect the fitting. If you do that the zerk fitting will always take grease and will not become plugged over time.

@aleon1018 The brake bleeders rust from brake fluid sitting in them from the last time they were bled. Last few years I've been putting the hose of a brake cleaner can all the way down the bleeder hole and blasting the brake fluid out. Haven't had any sticking/rusting issues since.
@tthams73

It’s “dry” because you haven’t installed them yet! Once they’re installed, the pressure will distribute the greese into the ball socket. The reason it’s stiff is because it is designed for a specific load! If it were easy to move around, they wouldn’t function. You realize because of those clips your new zerk are worthless. The clips prohibit the greese from migrating out of the dust cover. The entire point of having greesable ball joints is so you add new greese and push the old worn dirty greese out. Those clips won’t let the old greese escape. Eventually you’ll have too much greese and pressure in the dust cover and the dust cover will fail.

Use a magnet to remove shavings. I also noticed that when you pumped the grease in, it looked exactly as it did when you looked at the original, with the dry spots. Additionally....shouldn't there be a small hole to allow for the replacing of grease? That way you pump in new grease and old grease is squeezed out of the hole. Otherwise, how do you regrease?

Great video. Was thinking of doing this on my ATV. Can't find a good tool to remove/reinstall the ball joints, and they are pretty easily accessible. Watched your video to see how thick those top cups are. I think you may have overfilled them a little bit with grease :). I am thinking a shop vac would have worked well to remove any shavings.

@DonziGT230 7 лет назад
Drilling with the proper drill bit once will result in less metal inside than going up in steps. Putting grease on the tap will reduce the amount of metal that drops into the joint because much of the chips will stick to the grease.

The purpose of a grease fitting is so that you can REPLACE the lubricant. The metal clamps holding the boot on are to seal the joint so that the internal lubricant can't get out and also so contaminants can't get in. If you attempt to add grease to a sealed joint the boot will burst before you are able to REPLACE the grease. You want a joint WITHOUT the upper clamp so that you can pump in enough grease to not only REPLACE the lubricant, but also to pump any contaminants and wear particles OUT of the joint.

next time you go drilling into something get some rare earth magnets and sit one each side of the hole before you start drilling turn it upside down after a little bit pull off the magnets and most of the shavings should shake out. get a tap wrench they are cheap.

Should have used a rare earth magnet on the taps. You literally drove metal chips into the ball joint and then used compressed air which would have pushed them further into the grease.

Could you move the joint any easier after greasing, because new joints are very stiff you, usually can`t move them by hand, could what you`ve done be a safety issue .
@richardlloydusa
@richardlloydusa 8 лет назад
I could not move it after the application of the grease either. It was just as stiff. I didn't want to mar the mating surfaces with my tools to test it. I am sure it will be fine once I mount it. As far as safety goes I don't have any concerns as you can buy this exact same ball joint with the grease fitting (for a much higher price). They call this joint without the grease fitting "Non Grease-able" all I have done here is to make it grease-able. I would argue that I have actually made it a safer part as I am going to regularly look at the part when I grease it (every oil change) and will know more quickly when the boot is damaged and or the joint is beginning to fail. Most people will only check them when they start making noise or get their car safety checked. I have seen people ignore the signs that their ball joint was failing (noise, clunking, erratic steering etc.) and see them on the side of the road with a wheel pointing in the wrong direction calling a tow truck on their cell phone. I am changing mine primarily because I want to tighten up my suspension. I will be making a video of the replacement of the ball joint in the near future as well as many other suspension components which I may also modify with grease fittings. BTW the 4X4 rock crawlers dunebuggybroker.com/for-sale/rock-crawlers-4x4-jeeps-and-monster-trucks/01.jpg around here generally buy the grease-able joints for all their suspension components. I doubt that I will be converting the Santa Fe into a 4X4 rock crawler any time soon but I may do some suspension modifications in the future. Thanks again.

Maybe the government should make a law that ball joints must come with grease nipple or at least come with a screw in thread.

I believe you have put too much grease into that fitting. You are not allowing for expansion, so the boot may rupture sooner than it would have, allowing contaminents to get in!

Way over greased......the first mistake made by lube techs and mechanics coast to coast. PS if you are doing the work on a drill press out of the car you may as well remove the boots and throw them in solvent to remove the factory grease then when you drill them you can blow out the metal chips with a blow gun or spray can solvent and by removing the original grease prevent mixing of two different brands of grease which may or may not be compatible with each other.
