Pull the clips/rings off the rubber boot one end or the other and get some good grease in there.

Use a syringe (spelling?) Reinstall clips and seat the boot again and pray.

Yup... ewww. I was, lets say... a little drunk by that time and not thinking. Kept it down though

which I will say is NOT an easy task......... gawd that was frickin' gross. To this day I can still recall the feeling of that thing turning into a big ball of cottage cheese in my mouth....... *shudders*

yup...seal back up with RTV.

the way I look at it you've gotten the mileage out of the parts. so really, how much could you f up control arms with 93k miles on them by regreasing them?

its pretty much all upside imho.
