Initial greasing Johnny Joints

[UND_Sioux]

I just picked up some new control arms from Savvy with Johnny Joints. Would you advise taking them apart, greasing them, and putting them back together; or just going with the grease as they come?

My last set (different time) we’re just bolted on and started squeaking within 18 months. I did not grease them. I just installed them how they came out of the box. Thanks.

I ran mine right from box, but, I do have to grease them every few years or so...squeaking after 18 months might be normal for where you off -road...

I took them apart and greased them as recommended by mrblaine before installing

Ditto. And they didn't have much grease from the factory.

OK. I have the Blaine recommended grease, so I'll do that. Thanks.
