greasable or sealed
also called grease nipple · lubrication
WHETHER THE JOINT CAN BE RE-GREASED IN SERVICE OR IS SEALED AT THE FACTORY FOR LIFE. MOOG publishes `Greaseable: Yes` as a named field on the ball joint K80026 and on the tie rod end ES800880, and Dorman publishes `Greaseable: Oui` on the BJ90276RD with `Package Contents: 1 Zerk Fitting`. It is the single largest commercial claim in this trade - MOOG's Problem Solver range is sold on a grease path through the bearing - and it separates a premium replacement from an OE-equivalent one at the counter. TWO POSITIVE VALUES RATHER THAN A BOOLEAN, deliberately: no maker prints a field called `sealed for life`, so a boolean would have collapsed a maker's silence into a maker's `No` [A17, b156]. Optional. Concern measurement.
Greasable or sealed is answered with one word chosen from the lubrication provisions list — the same word shared across every product that uses it.
