Well, I went over every nut and bolt and every single one was so tight I could not budge as far as the chassis. I found the 4 bolts holding the transmission to bell housing not loose but I could turn them.
As far as the tie rod ends they were greased, as far as the ball joints in my opinion the only grease was assembly grease, in other words noyone ever greased the joints via the zerk fittings. I pumped alot of grease in each one, they way I know they had not be greased was one of the boots could be pulled back a little and all I saw was a residue, not be an expert I have no idea if this would last the life of the joint but with grease costing $4.00 tube and the effort of drilling and tapping zerk fitting seams pretty ignorant not to grease them.
I checked my passenger side for movement and found none, only about 100 degrees to day so I will check the drive side tomorrow.
In summary grease your ball joints ASAP!!!!
