CM For c4c5 specialist. Greasing ball joints

Would like to know how much grease you apply to the ball joints. I'm hearing all kinds of theories & would like your opinion.

I usually just apply enough to feel the boot expand slightly.

Thanks,

HI there,

Normally I would like to see a little get pushed out, but that is my personal preference, nothing more.

I figured if there is any contaminants, I can see them when the grease pushes out.

Allthebest, c4c5
