Thanks Scott ZHP, that's close to what I was looking for, I will try that.to everyone, I was joking about" lifetime" parts, it really means until the parts give out. I've used a "boot needle " for about 40 years and never replace any suspension components but we'll see. I have even cut open ball joints just to see how they are made. A lot have grooves that channel grease down around the ball so it just doesn't sit up top. When a ball joint goes out look under the boot just for your own knowledge, I have seen them dry and rusty. I have also lubed them and water came out of a boot that was not broken
