When I removed my suspension, I used a balljoint remover to pop the joint. However a lot of grease was squeezed out of the joint.

Do I need to replace it? If so how?

I dont really want to replace all the joints however I dont want the joint to dry up!

 

Inspect the boots and make sure they arent torn cracked or worn and refer to the Helm for proper lubrication points for the balljoints. Depending on how old they are I'd say just replace them since they're off now anyway and they're a critical joint in the suspension.

BTW what part of the suspension did you remove, because if you're talking the actual shocks and springs popping the balljoint isnt necessary.

 

cheers ill look in the workshop manual.

i removed the front arm to replace the bushes.

Actually i wondered if u had to remove the arm to get the dampers off. :-)

 

Oh ok, also check and make sure the balljoints arent too sloppy or have too much play, if they feel too loose might as well go ahead and replace them as they're ~$35 a peice and everythings off already.
