What happend to installing the Grease Fittings on the new Ball Joints?
I have decided it was not worthwhile doing (on my 83 300D) due to lower BJ's long lives, where the RF started squeaking at 250K, LF at 290K. Since I replaced them with good quality Lemforder BJs, if they last 3/4 as long, would outlast the body rust for sure.

I may try to install grease nipples in situ in my pristine 85 300D, which has 157k and the lower BJ's are still good.
