New Toyota brand lower control arms - pre greased?

So I just got 2 new Toyota lower control arms - man are those puppies pricey - and they appear to be pre greased but I wanted to make sure. The boot appears sealed and the joint is stiff, which is a good thing. Got them installed and got an alignment and all seems good. But as I was just thinking and wondering if Toyota pre greases the lower ball joint when they manafacture them. Can anyone confirm this?

TIA

David

They're all sealed up, so theres no way to add grease. Should be pregreased from the factory

Also saw in another post you're from Midlothian, VA and looking for clubs. check out RVA Toyota Trucks, HiluxSurf Off-Road, or Tidewater Toyotas on FB or the Northern Virginia Roll Call on TacomaWorld (Go to most recent page, most people not actually from NOVA, just most active VA page)

Thank you - thats what I thought. I also saw on Toyotas parts page them make or sell a bump stop for the lower control arm...but I dont think that applies to my 2004 SR5 (my old ones didnt have one installed)...production date was 4/2004 and I have a ATF dipstick and I know they changed that tranny mid stream 2004. Not sure if the LCA's also got a different style arm??
