Hi, my lower ball joint(the one that connects the lca to the knuckle) has a pin hole in it, and its seeping greese. Can I just buy a new boot, and re pack the greese? Thanks, Ryan

 

yeah, you can buy them in sets... Check for ball joint play first. If the ball joint is going bad, might be better to change the whole thing...

if its just a small hole and seeping a bit of grease an theres still plenty of grease left in there, the ball joint is probably totally fine, and not damaged by the grease cming out. you can just get a replacement boot from honda, like 3-5$, and easy to put on if you know how to pop the balljoint off.

balljoints get messed up when the hole allows dirt and crap to come IN the balljoint. usually when its bad, the whole boot is ripped anyway. as long as grease is still coming OUT, then theres no issue, just replace as soon as you can.

 

Go to a pharmacy & buy a small syringe, and fill it with fresh grease. Put the tip in the hole, being very careful not to make it any larger, and fill back up with the grease. THEN wipe with a rag & some lacquer thinner to thoroughly clean the area around the hole, THEN apply some silicone. It will outlast your car, if done right....

 

I thought about that, but I prolly am just going to replace the whole boot. But thats a good tip for everyone, Ryan
