servicing pitman and idler arm ball joints?

[MericaMopar]

on my '64, the ball joints for the idler arm and pitman arm on the steering link do not have grease points or boots on them and I could not find anything about servicing them in the fsm. Are these are not meant to be serviced? Seems odd that these would not be serviceable but the tie rod joints would be.

Just how that one is made sealed unit. When they go get a greasabe part.

That's what I assumed, I'm just shocked to find a non serviceable part on this, and that these look original and in good shape.

Chrysler wasn't big on greasing front end components.

Everything that could be greased came from the factory with plugs instead of grease fittings. They told you that every 30K miles you should remove the plugs, temporarily install grease fittings, grease the front end, then put the plugs back in. I really doubt that very many shops, if any, did this.

They were designed to last seven (7) years... They did their job... and then some....
They made it past the warranty....

I have Quality U.S.A. made Idler Arms and PITMAN ARMS for every application on Earth (except some
Imperials...)

I would happily provide my phone number, but they don't allow that any longer.... you have to P.M. me.....

Yours, Craig.....
