Reply to "Ball Joint Interchange"

Keep in mind that with proper greasing, stock parts will last a very long time. It is entirely possible to add tall zerk fittings to stock ball joints, right-angle zerks to the tie rod ends and the lower pivot shafts in the rear suspension. The zerks can be added with the parts on the car and takes a Saturday to do at a cost of maybe $20. Total replacement with stock parts exceeds $1000.... The Pantera is not the first production car in which no grease fittings were included, probably for cost reasons. Early-'70s Pintos had none either, so the aftermarket (and Ford) began offering a "kit" for $25 to add them later.
