    I installed Camburg UCA's with Moog ball joints that were put together by wheelersoffroad. This is what they look like after 3000 miles. I don't even think I have had it in four wheel drive since then.

    I did about 60 miles on a logging road (my wifes Kia could have driven on it) and they are puking out a whole lot of grease.

    I have already emailed pictures to wheelers but I have yet to hear back from them.

    Any opinions or advice out there?

    Wasn't torn the last time I wiped off the grease to check.

    Wheelersoffroad said that its probably because of being over greased and suggested that I wipe off grease and look for tear.

    Going to wipe now.

    looks like the boots didn't keep the grease in...can pump fresh grease in and perhaps get new boots?

    I just finished wiping them clean and couldn't find any tears.

    Those with Moog ball joints, how often do you grease them and how much do you put in?
