Default Ball Joints - Drag Link & Tie Rod

I have been doing some research about ball joints. These slides show some of my findings. I appreciate your comments. Perhaps the most controversial slide is one about adjusting the end plugs.

I think it’s important to emphasize that all moving parts need to be thoroughly greased before and during assembly. Relying on greasing after assembly through the grease fittings will leave some surfaces dry.
