Question about Moog end links

[kkeo211]

This may be a stupid question but I didn't see an answer anywhere and the instructions that came with the Moog end links didn't say anything.

Are you supposed to remove the grease fill nipples after installing them or do you leave them on? I seems like they would get dirty with no cover.

By the way, the end links have fixed the clanking sound coming from the rear. What a difference!

Leave them on, that keeps the grease in and dirt out.

Yup ^^

Yeah, the nipples will get dirty but it's a good tradeoff. Without them in with an open hole, dirt and contaminants will get in and ruin the joint. If you leave it in, yeah dirt will collect on it but next time you go to grease it, just wipe it off with a rag, then grease it and you're good to go. Can't wipe out the joint with a rag.
