Ball joints?

this is probably a dumb question but when installing ball joints and other suspension components do you fill them with grease before or after you install and tighten them down?

Re: Ball joints?

When any steering or suspension parts are replaced, always have the wheels straight ahead when torqing the fastener, it prevents "memory steer". Lube the components after they are installed and torqued to spec.

Re: Ball joints?

yup, everything OldMaster said ... and fill them with grease with the load off joint (jack up each wheel)
