I have searched quite a bit and have not been able to find any LBJ's that are grease-able (have a zerk). The OEM LBJ's don't have it, and if you look at the design there's just not room for one. They are all supposed to come pre-greased AFAIK

I just bought Napa Premium lower ball joints about 2 months ago (haven't installed yet). They had a plug in the hole for a zerk, I just bought some zerks and installed them into the hole.
I'll take pictures later today when I get home form work.

Go to RockAuto Auto Parts, enter all your vehicle information into the catalog and then find the Raybestos Professional Grade LBJ. Not only are they 555 parts, but are greasable.
