I got these new end links online and the image didn’t show any graese fitting on the end but I got them today and there is a grease fitting. So I’m not sure if this means I need to add grease? Is there a way I can make sure? The boots are sealed so can’t look inside either. ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/2X/4/4dffea7df4a8f0cd6e40ad5d99b03ab97695e2b1.jpg) ![](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/cartalk/original/2X/4/4183bdfde85880a108aa591f4c37cdfa0a198bb1.jpg) ---

Anytime you get a new component with a grease fitting, you add grease. Tester ---

Get a grease gun with a whip hose, trust me on this. It can be a cheapo, you won’t be using it often. use NLGI #2 grease . . . very common. Many of the grease cartridges will reference that standard
