    I noticed the driver side balljoint was oozing today, must have been within the last week because I had checked them recently. I'm running 5100/Eibach combo, what's my best move here? Replace the balljoints and hope it doesn't happen again, or do it right the first time and pick up a set of Camburg UCA's? Is it sketchy to drive on it a bit longer until I save some taco funds?
    The passenger side isn't leaking now, but they're both at pretty extreme angles.
    Thanks!

    Like its leaking form the boot around the joint? If thats all then you should be ok it wont hurt nothing except let water in which will screw it up over the long term

    Should I pump more grease in there to make up for the stuff thats spilling out?
