When i purchased my Tiger in 2007 the front end had been rebuild with all new parts by a well known USA Sunbeam expert. I believe this work was done around 2003. I noticed the steering on the car was

You mean the ball joints had a hole for a grease nipple but no nipple installed, or they didn't have a hole at all? I've seen tie rod ends without a hole but never a ball joint... The balljoints I go

I'm thankful to the parts vendors because without then there might not be such things as ball joints etc.. That said, I bought both upper and lower ball joints from the same vendor (2003-2004). Withi

Hi Tony, I did that part of the assembly back in 2002 or so... I forget whether the zerk fitting was included with the balljoint or not, but I do remember that they were not installed in the box. To

Some pics of my ball joints from last year that were bad. Also of note, the boots had crumbled, as had the boots on my friends car, we assume they used a rubber that was not suitable to withstand th

I am a bit at a loss on this discussion of ball joints. Most tie-rod ends and ball joints made since 1970 or so have lacked Zerk fittings or provisions for them. In 1980, I bought ball joints for my

To All I know Rick @ Sunbeam Specialties and Tiger Tom were wrestling with manufacturing problems with the ball joints back in the mid 1990's. I believe Rick and Tom were both running low on parts an
