Tire rubbing ball joint grease fitting, rim rubbing upper control arm

Looking @ your pics, the ball joint on the right is welded in and not threaded like the original ones.

To the OP, maybe remove the zert and plug the hole.

The front end rebuild is still on hold. Gotta wait for lift time at my buddies garage for that. Then I'll know for sure when the alignment is done. It would be nice if all I had to do was remove the zert. Time will tell.
