I may try the Drop Links next time they're required - I'm assuming it's Front Drop Links you fitted ?

Yes,twas the fronts.

Just an update, the moog track rod ends benefit firing greasing before fitting as the grease was a bit sparse!

Oh dear , that is a bit sparse,
Why do they keep just waving the joint over the grease pot instead of giving it a good dunking.
Well mine are on now so I suppose it will be a good test to see how long they last when fitted dry straight out the box.

You say FIRING.--Do you heat the grease to make sure it runs in to completely fill the joint ??

In the past I've filled up bearings by putting them in a tin of heated grease.---( Heated gently on the gas. )
