I wrapped the joints with shrink-wrap, then made a small hole to insert a needle attachment for my grease gun nozzle, then overlayed with shipping tape. It holds grease and keeps water/dirt out for a while. I don't know how much I'm accomplishing, but it lasts several months.
I have even used an aerosol can of waterproof grease, but it doesn't seem to stay around the joint long.
I suspect all I'm doing is delaying scheduling an appt. with Spartan to replace them. From what I've read on the forum, Spartan is the lowest cost for this labor-intensive repair.
I'll try to remember to take pictures of my ball joints when I replace front shocks in the next two weeks.
I will perform a shade-tree mechanic test of the ball-joints next week. I raise the front wheels off the ground, insert a pry-bar under the tire and attempt to detect any "clunk" or movement in the wheel assy. Any movement means the joint is worn beyond specs, which is a maximum of 0.50" play in each ball-joint.

have a quick question...we just bought a 2002 winnebago brave w/ workhorse. can someone help tell me where the fuse box for the auto park brake fuse is located?
