Thumbs up W126 tierods... load 'em with grease?

I'm planning to toss on new rods on the SDL today (Wed) or tomorrow and have a few quick questions regarding them...

It appears the end links can be potentially filled with chassis grease but I can't confirm this. If this is so, how do I go about this as there are no Zerks on there.

Anything else I should be aware of before getting into this aside from getting an alignment done ASAP?

Thanks

They should already be lubed and sealed for life...the life of the tie rod that is.

Thumbs up

Got them installed today in around 90min, not nearly as hard as I thought. Need an alignment but alas, I can drive the SDL! Did discover that I do need to adjust the throttle linkage more and my fan clutch is bad tho'
