Having over the years always cleaned and spread a thin layer of silicon grease to the front large steering balls ....this time i have sprayed them with PTFE fluid....never have been confident that its a good idea as it probably attracts dust etc..wonder what others put on their Balls ?????

I go commando, i.e. with nothing on. 
The felt wiper and the rubber seal should keep them clean and sound.

Re: Balls
I've left my balls alone for a very long time, occasionally they get a light smear of CV grease from inside the knuckle but mostly they get covered from a quick drive up the dirt track

Re: Balls
That's what happens when you use them a lot! I'd have though mine would be a little rusty from lack of use, but when you get married, you don't get the same amount of time to play with them!ROBBIE wrote:Mine were all rough but now they are all shiny
