I took the boots off of my old ones. I have to say, the grease looks good and the ball joint is smooth with no rattling or lateral play; it seems to rotate smoothly about its possible motions.



Now I am wondering why the heck I replaced them... And how to truly tell if they are bad. To me this one looks and feels pretty good... Maybe if there is a problem it only manifests under a heavy load?

The one in the vertex video for the EPS rebuilt arms is definitely bad, the whole guts falls out at one point in the video

I think i am going to unbolt the forks on my front ones and if the ball end doesn't rattle i am going to leave them on...
