Default zerks are great and will increase service life dramatically... but they won't...
cure or fix an already bad ball joint. When installed in new arms they can extend the useful service life of the balljoint by 400-500% or even more if serviced regularly with a good grease. But if a balljoint is already making noise it's probably too late to save it/them.

Default Would you happen to know if the Control arm kit sold by ECS tunning is for a complete set of arms ?
Do you have all the part # that you purchased from McMasters ? Is that 1 Zirck per arm ?

Default Don't know if Mance is still making and selling them...but his pricing was very competitive.
Terrific responsiveness and delivery too -- I recommend buying from him!
