    Hey everyone. I'm sure most are asleep, but I'm in a pickle. Got my UCAs installed and I'm having hell with 3 of the 4 zerks on the long bolt (ball joints are flush with grease.) I used the little grease packages on install, and I'm freaking beat. Would it be ok to drive on that small amount of grease 11 highway miles to a shop? Thank you.

    Made it, not even a strange noise. Thanks yet again. Even more in need of an alignment now, though.

    In case anyone comes across this, make sure your grease gun tip has the 4-way rubber grip thing in there. My brand new gun did not. All greased up, now. The shop told me I had chinese sized zerk fittings... wtf.
