Early ones had a grease zert .
Later MB oe do not.

Some aftermarket, likeMoog joints do.The Moog Problem Solver ball joint has an improved design over the stock ball joint; instead of a polymer bearing which distorts under load, Moog uses a steel gusher bearing which eliminates deformation and looseness.............

Automobile manufacturers are moving away from greasable joints of any kind.

Anyone remember the TECALEMIT 'oiled' hangers and joints on older cars/vans/trucks ?

What happened to the hinge 'hammer' greasers ? Used to have one in every MB trunk tool kit ?
