They have a grease nipple to keep the rollers happy. This is for D1's. D2's I hear don't have greasable unless u change them. Some ball joints also have lube nipples. Pump the old grease out until it runs clear.   Nadim Samara (Discodino) Member Username: Discodino Post Number: 163 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Saturday, December 20, 2003 - 12:12 pm:    Everytime i'm under the truck (which is very often)...honnest...it takes me a couple of seconds to get to all 4, add to the 2 more for the driveshafts, and 4 more for the ball joints, in 5 minutes all is lubed.
