Does anybody know if replacement grease caps are available for OEM ball joints like the ones in the drag link and track bar? I need to spread the spending out a little and can't really afford to replace those at the moment. Both are working fine but could probably use to be rehabbed a little and the grease caps are shot.

Cool. I was googling "grease caps" and not getting the results I'd hoped for. TRE dust caps gave me what I wanted. Now I get to use my new digital caliper to measure something other than cat whiskers and various types of paper.

For something as critical and high-stress as a ball joint I absolutely would not cheap out. Spicer OE or Alloy USA greaseable.

Anybody happen to have a discount coupon for Serious OffRoad? I'm buying 2 sets of Dana ball joints.
