Got new ball joints (greaseable) on my truck about 5 weeks ago. Anyway, I went to grease them yesterday and it wouldn't take the grease. All the other front end greaseable areas take it just fine. Anyone have an idea why this might be happening?

Did they grease em when they installed them? What brand are they?

I think they are Moog and yes they did grease them when they installed them

If you just installed em 5 weeks ago.........maybe they are full?

Probably are but I thought it would just push out whats already in there and be left with the newer grease.

Sometimes just to tight, jack the front end up so there loose and try it. Good luck.

That makes sense, I'll try it

I was thinking the same thing. Anything new is usually tight, like loader pins, and getting them to take grease can be a bugger simply because there isn't anywhere for the grease to get into.
