I believe at one time the ball joint casing was the same when the grease
nipples were first eliminated... which allowed for drilling a hole and
installing a nipple. I'm not sure if that's still the case - IOW the newer
ones may not be amenable to drilling without damaging the ball or socket,
or there may be insufficient metal depth to screw a nipple into. I'd be
interested to hear if anyone's tried it??
