"preventative maintenance free"

 

I've heard of people putting their own zerks in (might've read it on Amazon?), but I don't know if the newer ones have the threaded hole or not. Guess I'll see when the new joints show up tomorrow. Hopefully the truck stays together until then...

 

Looking at SPC's site, the "maintenance free" ball joints are just the greaseable ones with the hole plugged and can be converted to be greaseable with SPC part# 25477.

OR just buy two zerk fittings for a dollar.... I just confirmed that the hole is 1/4-28 and a 1/4-28 taper zerk works fine.

 

If anyone is interested

Need to start with a functioning power steering pump… my forearms are getting tired.

 

Power steering pumps are easy peasy

 

Just can’t decide if I do a trail gear tc style pump or a replacement oem.

leaning towards rip a couple off junkyard vehicles to have a spare, then expand the reservoir on one and add a filter and cooler.

haven’t had boots on the steering rack for like 18+ months so it probably ate a bunch of dirt and destroyed the pump vanes. Seems like a flow rate issue to me.

 

Just go full hydro

 

On my mind but I’m iffy with all the street driving I enjoy.

 

Eh I had no boot on my driver side (silver truck) for two years. It'll be fine.

Also big fan of junkyard finds + modifications.

Hydro assist then
