Yes, stock would be riveted on. IMO, never go with non-greasable.

so this isnt stock, is what your saying? i guess the previous owner had got it changed. oh and the last picture is backwards....tire should be on the left.

i dont know if it was the moist weather or that SOME of the grease worked in, but it didnt make the sound last night! guess that $6 needle was worth it....I go for a front end inspection tomorrow, im guessing they're just going to tell me to replace everything....i hate mechanics.....

I still have a REALLY bad rattle that sounds like a broken cat converter, i cant figure it out, hopefully they can......im starting to get weird looks on the road its so loud lol

Yeah from lookin at the picture i'd say your in need of replacing most your suspension components you can get all ball joints, tie rods (inner outer sleeves), sway bar connectors, idler and pitman arm, for 140 roughly on ebay all with one year warrenty and they are greasable. They aren't Moog but OE brand. 140 won't get but 3 ball joints from moog. And squeaks, I had a squeak that would go away if I submerged my truck in water. Then come back when it dried out.
