Not sure about the previous 2 but the ones the ones that arrived on the doorstep the other day have no grease zerks and the lowers ( I think) have what I call knurls (very small splines) made into the body of them.....apparently to make a tighter fit....maybe. Will be the end of next week before I can install them but will keep everyone posted on the outcome.

So did anyone have to make a choice when they ordered their ball joints from XRF or am I missing something?

Pretty sure when you order you're only getting what is offered at that time....non-greasable upper and lower.

I've had the XRF's on the truck for @50k and they are of the greasable type. The right fornt one will not take any grease unless I jack that tire off the ground. Its been like that since day one
