well, seeing as how i hardly ever use the 4WD there isnt much load on it but i agree that a joint void of grease will eventualy fail seeing as how every time the front wheels spin the ball bearings do move. I had just noticed it and i did not remember seeing any grease on the A-arm last time I greased the ball joints a few months ago so it must have just happend in the last few weeks. According to that write up it says the joint detaches from the axle, well, if thats the case the half shaft would be come two entities at that point, one being affixed to the hub and the other affixed to the differential, if thats the case why couldnt i just split the shaft slide th eold boot off and the new one on? Thats what im reading here..... i guess I will just have to look at it tomorrow.
