stock ball joints = non greaseable

My 88 ball joints are original. Buy a grease needle and poke a very small hole in the boot and fill them up. Mine have over 164K miles on them!!

I'd leave them until they require service then replace them with greaseables.

If you poke a hole in the boot. Now you offer an entrance for dirt and water. I don't think grease in the boot is nearly effective as grease forced in from under the ball anyways.

RTV when the hole is not in use works great!!
It does work, because years ago, the driver side started to squeak. Since greasing once a year, no more problems.
