Finally got car up on lift.  Guess what!  There is a grease fitting, and it took grease.  Because this car was built on either the last day or so of production, perhaps the grease fitting was fitted during that period.  Also, there seemed to be no play in the mechanism at all.

Tony -

I thought there was a zerk fitting on that ball joint. 

I get my car greased once/year (1,500 miles).  May be over-kill, but grease is cheap.  Also I have them use a hand lever gun so as not to blow any seals.

Keep it greased, and you should be fine!
