    Hello! First time post on this awesome forum. I recently got a suspension and SPC UCA upgrade about 5k miles ago and want to grease the ball joints. Ive seen some tutorial videos but they seem
    To have a part sticking out where they attach the grease gun to where as mine just looks like a hole. Is this normal? And if so, how do i grease this kind. Is it a different type of grease gun

    Thanks for any help in advance

    The new Spc ucas have a service free ball joint no zerk fitting. No need to grease. Looks like that’s what you have.

    I just replaced my ball joints in the SPCs and they state Service Free but also offer a kit is you want to convert them. Not sure if it is more than just adding the zerk, there must be a plug in there that would need to be removed.
