Did some work on the Trac the other day and while I was at it I greased my ball joints that I replaced just a year ago (with Moog ball joints, uppers and lowers). The driver side lower ball joint boot has a small hole in it which had some grease oozing out of it. I may have over-greased it and ruptured the boot, since I didn't notice any signs of it oozing grease before I pumped a couple shots into it. Is this something that I should worry about?

From Federal-Mogul's web site:
Moog uses premium polychloroprene and polyurethane superior compounds that stand up to temperature extremes, dirt and abrasion to seal the boots on our ball joints. In addition, the ball joint boots are fitted with grease relief valves. These features help prevent contamination and allow debris to be flushed out when the ball joint is serviced.

Jaydawg74- As you probably know, keep grease away from the brakes. You're good to go! :banana:
