To add zerk fittings to ball joints and tie-rod ends, you drill a hole in the piece, tap it to 1/4-28 and carefully screw the fitting in. On ball joints, the center is recessed so you need extended-length zerks, but thats about it. Ford used to sell a kit for installing them in Pintos that had no zerks either. I wrote an article years ago on doing this to my Pantera, with illustrations, in the POCA newsletter. FYI: upper balljoints in any car hardly ever fail since they are more lightly loaded than the lowers which carry the wt of the front end in addition to handling cornering loads & road shock.

Once again, thanks
