Swivel ball re-fresh

[WaltNYC]

After inspecting leaking grease I have discovered the leak is probably caused by the pitting on my swivel ball(s). I have read through many threads about how to do it and what I need but many are fairly old.

My question today is what is the best source? ...and... teflon coated or chrome?

I've seen aftermarket ones break before, I went with new genuine teflon units. I'd rather have used genuine chrome than new aftermarket.

YMMV

Don't buy used balls from Zack. All sort of pitting, slightly deformed, and way smaller than normal.

Lol... aside from my actual balls, did that one I sent out work for you?

Yeah works great sitting on my shop bench. I'll update you in a couple years when it's installed.
