Brand new wishbones balljoint grease

[ccr89]

Hoping someone can help me on this been many years since I had my last vtr, basically I bought two new wishbones for my new vtr so obviously came with new balljoints fitted. Fitted them straight to the car and then noticed it looks and feels as if there is no grease in the balljoints.

So was I supposed pack the rubber bit with grease before fitting? I assumed that brand new they would come ready to fit to the car?

They were Q drive ones from eurocarparts dont know if anyone else has experience of these wishbones?

I've added a picture dont know if anyone can tell if thats how the rubber bit normally looks when fitted, cheers!

Never had to grease one in the past

they all come ready greased, you dont have to do anything apart from fit the wishbone

They will have grease in already and be hard to turn. its when they're flopping about you have a problem.

Your fine - they are stiff when new - that's a good thing. :)

As above, if they're floppy, bin em!
