I just had to put a moog on mine and its alright. I dont like greasable parts though as I would rather just have it be sealed. Will likely replace it with another style in Spring.
Redz, where can we get the whiteline ones?

I ordered a full set of Spicer endlinks. I've never had a problem with rust on my suspension. A few days before I work on it, I'll spray it down with penetrating oil of some sort. Also, another thing is you should never use the nut on the back to tighten an endlink. They are there to take the endlink off. I've also found that needle nose vicegrips are the best thing to get ahold of the flat spots on the back of the endlinks. I think I busted mine up when I tried to smush an open ended wrench behind them last time I changed my shocks and springs.

I run the kjb endlinks, never had any problems with them. i did replace the nuts they come with and replaced them with nylock nuts as i prefer them for anything.

Nylock are the type that have the nylon ring in them that put tension on the threads? I've never had one come loose on me, is it worth it?
I ordered some outer tie rods as well to go with these new endlinks. I noticed some grease was starting to seep out of them. I should pretty much have a new suspension system, hopefully it takes all the undesirability out of my drive.
Tie rods and end links are pretty much all the grease fittings under the car right?

But is there an aftermarket one with a grease fitting? Or are they all sealed? Thats what I was wondering because Im not sure as Ive never done a ball joint on any of my Tibs.

Mine were so rusted that by removing the main nut, the entire bolt began to rotate! You have to just hold it steady as you tighten/loosen the main nut. Neednose vicegrips would do nothing on mine, the way they were. Even the bigger vices didn't hold it.

IMO might as well, its only going to cost a dollar or so
