nipples are good,

my 62 MGA has grease nipple on park brake cable and it still works today,,In Canada due to salt on the roads in winter,,brake cables rust/lock up and are toast in 4 years,, $90 to change out for safety inspection,, and most never use them,,yes I put nipples on every thing drill and tap and grease,,ps I have driven the MG in winter In Edmonton and Ontario,, :} brrrrrr.

When you get replacement steering parts; do you get them with or without nipples?

Without nipples is OEM standard.
With nipples is after market.:D :D

I am not happy. :(
Trying to gather new steering - suspension joints for the front of the 1976 300D.

I have tried to find everything with grease fittings.
(Sarcastic) Lots of luck with that.. :rolleyes:

Since I can't find what I want, and existing joints are good sealed units...

I will drill, tap, install grease fittings, and replace the boots with aftermarket Jaguar XK or XJ boots for greater durability on the current joints.
