I know I'm a newbie here but I've been a Chrysler master tech for 39 years so allow me to dispel a few myths.

First non greaseable joints are stronger as they don't have the grease channel that is cross drilled through the joint. Secondly anytime you add grease to anything whether it be a ball joint, tie rod end or u joint you take the chance of also dispensing dirt or other contaminants into it. This will reduce it's life span quickly.

I would recommend and personally use non greasable joints in my vehicles, including the race car.
