Throw away world I say. Anyone remember ball joints on a mini? You took a shim out if there was to much play.

Prop Ujs are handy having a grease nipple. But otherwise as you said, ball joints are cheap to replace.

None on mine.
Rear axle and sub frame and engine in, rest stripped out to do bloody clutch release arm...
not one grease nipple in sight, everything is on sealed bearings.

do not dispose of your grease though put a little on you brake pipes ,and then put a little on the door stays especially the rear door one.

Prop shaft uj's that's a point. Should I grease those up? Bit hard getting it into them though. Maybe I should use spray grease? I always gt85 the door hinges and most other parts regularly
