This coming weekend I will be replacing the lower arms on my car. Making sure I had all the necessary bit and pieces last I noticed a small bag inside the bag containing the new arms and it held a grease nipple.
On the underside of the new arm, directly under the ball joint, there is a threaded hole that the nipple fits into.
Upon checking it appears the balljoint is fitted dry hence the reason the nipple so you can apply the grease yourself.
My question is this, how much grease should I put in? With it all being sealed I won't be able to see how much is going in and it something I have never had to do before!

Morning all,
This coming weekend I will be replacing the lower arms on my car. Making sure I had all the necessary bit and pieces last I noticed a small bag inside the bag containing the new arms and it held a grease nipple.
On the underside of the new arm, directly under the ball joint, there is a threaded hole that the nipple fits into.
Upon checking it appears the balljoint is fitted dry hence the reason the nipple so you can apply the grease yourself.
My question is this, how much grease should I put in? With it all being sealed I won't be able to see how much is going in and it something I have never had to do before!
Hope someone can help.
Steve
