I bought a pair of after market ball joints and they came with greese fittings,but not insatlled on them.
do theese need to be put in as well or is this just for future greesing?
do ball joints come greese up all ready?
or is this why they come with greese fiitings?

Sealed ball joints do not need lubricating/grease...If your new ball joints came with zerk fittings I would install them and grease the ball joint...

If they come with grease fitting then be sure to install them and grease the ball joints. I would guess that the ball joint don't come pre-greased either.
