This does not come as a surprise as I have used the car regularly for the past sixteen years without lubricating them and imagine that it has not been done for years,if ever.They have no grease fittings. I have a spare "38" front end and notice that it appears similar though it does have grease nipples. QUESTION!!!! "Can I use tie rod ends, balls, cups etc from a later model on a "28"? Terry

If it fits, do the job for keeps.

The Filling Station sells replacement balls,you will have to measurethe length and diameter to get a match, they are piened over to hold them into the steering arm arent they? same as on 31-32. You could also tap and thread the back of your 28 fittings to allow pressure greasing fittings to be fitted Regards jack Last edited by jack39rdstr; 06/18/08 02:42 PM. JACK
