From another thread:
Steve --
I would definitely like to know about your modification.
Also, what did you replace the ball joint boots with? Did you just get the ball joint kits from SPF? Via leads from Grady I found some possible replacements from Energy Suspensions but have not tried them.
BTW one of mine has split at the fold line either from not enough grease to keep the material from folding that sharply, or simply from rotting with age. Yet another issue I haven't gotten to yet....
Have replaced the ball joint boots (were torn because as originally received ball joints were not or not adequately greased and the boots tore due to turning forces with no lube to the rubber.
Once had the ball joints out (no easy task) I machined a hex in bottom of the ball joint to allow easy removal and install next time> If anyone wants more info I will elaborate.
Also good idea to install a zerk fitting in the threaded nut that seals the ball in lower control arm as it allows easy greasing.
