new xrf ball joints

I recieved my new XRF ball joints today, I cant wait to get them in. I have read that some are greasable and some are not. When i opend them up they are both greasable. Im glad to see that. But I thought they were made in canada. the box says made in taiwan? I hope they are as good as everyone says.

I put mine in the freezer over night and they were still a little tough to get in there. Did the XRF joints back in October and they still feel great.

I wish Tire Club would have sent me some greasables but they didn't. Mine are all sealed.

Installed my XRF's in aug 2011 and they were NON grease-able.Time will tell and many on here and other sites have recommended them and have spoken highly of them so see what happens.
