Did a search using "Ball Joint" But didn't find what I was looking for.
Can anyone supply the following information?
1) What are the part #'s for Type 181 ball joints
2) I understand that there are the "Good Ones" and the not as good ones. Who makes the "Good Ones" and where can I order them from?
3) Anyone drilled and tapped a ball joint or tie rod end to install a zerk fitting prior to install thus allowing periodic greasing? ( Old school guy here )
Thanks,
DD

Does anyone know what tread size you would tap for a zerk fitting. I want to do that before I try and install new ball joints.
