You're right! I'd looked at the Moss catalog too, but stopped at the pictures
of the early and later ball joints show grease nipples. I didn't notice that
the description for the latter says it's permanently lubricated. Thanks!

Interestingly, TRF sells early and late ball joints, but both appear to have
grease nipples.
