Default Help!! Moog ball joints just installed-issues!!!

Okay, So i just got back from the shop getting my ball joints replaced with some greasable MOOG ball joints. Seemed like everything was all good until i got home and looked at the uppers a bit closer. The driver side joint is firm to the touch and the passanger side is like a flat innertube type feeling. WHATS GOING ON??? Is this okay to even drive on? Is it a simple fix I can do?

Thats what my first thought was, but I rubbed the zerk fitting and it had grease on it. Assuming they didnt have the grease gun on properly, would they have gotton resistance to think it was full

They had to remove your abs/ESP lines, try unhooking your battery and resetting. If that doesn't work, either the sensor was f'd up doting reinstall, it's not plugged in well, or the line is f'd.
