    I don't think the ol MOOGs are fully greased. After install, do I just fill em up until the boot is stiff-ish? Same for tie rods?

    MOOG LBJs? The only thing you need to do to get those to work right is throw them in the trash and reinstall OEMs joints.

    It is kinda true. Expect to be on the yearly replacement plan now, though you should be able to sneak them through the lifetime warranty deal. That is why I only use Toyota joints.

    Toyota LBJs have a lifetime warranty?

    No, his new Moogs do. Toyota ball joints just cost more, hold tolerance better, last longer. Pick what way you like the trade offs.

    :evil::evil::evil:I'm not saying MOOG is the best replacement, nor have I ever.:evil::evil::evil:

    Just want to clear the air, I know Brett has ripped on them in here since I purchased them. They are the lowers I've got right now and the ones that will be installed this weekend. Didn't have funds to go OEM when I purchased these and had initially planned to install them at the beginning of the summer (before RT to be exact).

    I'm just curious as to greasing them after install. Do they need to be greased immediately, or naw? If so, grease until boot is firm or shoot a little in and say a prayer? A-giggity.

    Lube until it is messy is usually what I do, wipe away as it squirts out over time.

    Yes, if you see the boots bloating you are good. The 1st time you drive it will get messy.
