    Looking for some guidance from TW. I installed my Fox 2.5 suspension a few days ago and I noticed when replacing my OEM sway bar links that grease was oozing out of the boot on both the passenger and driver side, so I decided to get some replacements. I purchased the MevoTech links and received them this am. Out of the box the boots on them look flat and don't look to have much grease in them. I can see a bit of grease in the hole where the grease fitting is going to be screwed in but when I press on the boot it doesn't seem like there is any grease in there and I can't see any grease moving toward the grease fitting hole.

    Is it recommended to add a pump or two after install and is there any risk of over greasing them and ruining the seal on the boot? Or would it be like my SPC UCA where the old grease would just move out of the boot and be good? Any advice would be appreciated.
