Default Rock Krawler Adjustable Front Track Bar Greasing

I was wondering how do you know when the front track bar is properly greased on a Rock Krawler Adjustable Front Track Bar?

I could only 1 pump of grease and then the grease started coming out of the gun through various spots on the gun. I tried my other grease gun and same thing.
Is it suppose to ooze of grease like my JKS quick discos do when I grease them?

Thanks,

Matt

Also did anyone else's joint look like this when it arrived. The Pictures online show a different type of rubber which covers the whole joint?

yup the new anti wobble joint. RK calls for a extremely thin grease. They come greased tho so should be good for a while.

I need to replace my driver side track bar joint. That thing seems to be shot as grease is everywhere from it.

call RockKrawler or pm them here. they will give you a deal on the new anti-wobble joint for being a past customer. The new joint is so much nicer than the old one.
