Default Lubing the A Arms

is there a way to inject grease into the bubber boot of the 03/04 spindle of the front A arms? Has anyone inserted a grease fitting at the bottom or injected grease through the boot? I was told by a Ford tech that if you made a hole in the boot it will eventually enlarge. Thx

i just thought that after a while any joint needs lubrication. I have asked Ford techs why its sealed but they had no answer other than that by the time you would need to relube the arm would be shot anyway. Maybe they are right.

Are you talking about the Ball Joints? My Steeda X2's came with a Zerk fitting

The 03/04 Cobra stock front control arms have a spindle that pivots in a ball joint. Obviously many owners replace these with A arms, K bars etc. It seemed odd to me that there was no factory zerk fitting for the spindles.
