Stabilizer Bar Link

No. There are no grease fitting on the link you have shown. They are lubricated for life. Now, what is the life of a link that cannot be lubricated? Not sure how that would be answered.

There are links made with grease fittings that you should lube at every oil change, which will extend the life of these links. But they should last 50k-60k miles easily with the grease free ones.

so no need to use the grease gun for ball joint
thanks

First, you are using incorrect terms. What you pictures is a stabilizer (or sway) bar link, not a ball joint. The stablizer link you have pictured does not have any grease fittings on them, and as such, you cannot grease them.

Ball joints are at the bottom of your front steering knuckle. Many older ball joints have grease fittings on them. If they do, you need to service them at every oil change. If your particular ball joints do not have grease fittings, then you cannot grease them, as they are sealed for life.

sorry i made mistake,(stablizer link)

My 98's original ball joints lasted to 220 000 km or so and became noisy, I had re lubricated them prior, during my whiteline swaybar install, but I kner one of the balls were scored and binding.

I put on a set of Moog endlinks, which were much larger, with a thicker rod, and grease nipples at each ball joint. The rubber boot or seal on the moog is not as tight, which allows you to pump the grease around the ball, and let it seep out the side, which I wipe off with a rag.

Deeza and Mevotech also make greasable endlinks for the camry, but I was not able to purchase them at a similar price than the moog at a local shop (93 CDN +tax).

Deeza and mevotech are around $30 USD each online with shipping over $30 USD when I needed them.
