Question Need a lil info

Well im replacing my fake tiens with the real s techs after noticing severe sag. While decompressing the springs the first time i ****ed up and all my ***** shot loose , now theres dirt,sand and all kinds of crap mixed with all the bearings and grease. Since im replacing the springs and taking all this crap apart again where can I buy new ball bearings and what kind of grease do I use to replace the old stuff.

Thx In advance

if everything was installed and tightened properly, that should not have happened.

Re: Need a lil info

you could purchase pillow ball mounts with the new suspension, then no, you wouldn't need the original ones, as i understand it.
