[BMWCSRegistry] Control Arm Bushings & Ball Joint

[Louis Balla]

I purchased a pair of control arms and was going to use urethane bushings from Mesa.  Unfortunately the control arms I purchased are wider than the original so the bushings and sleeve don't fit well.  So now I am planning on using the original control arm since the ball joint looks to be in good shape.  I was thinking that it would be a good idea to re-grease the ball joint.  Has anyone ever done that and what's involved with putting a new dust cap back on?  Does it just slip on or is it much more complicated than that? Can I even find a new dust cap?

Thanks,

Lou
