Need new balljoints (Anyway to grease? Cobra A-Arms?, bumpsteer kit/new tierod ends?)

As Hissin said the rest is up to you? If it were my car I would replace the tie rod end because the grease will ooooze out of the hole you put in the boot. I think it's just a temporary fix. If you replace the ends then yes replace the sway bar bushings too.

I dont know about you guys but I just fully re-built my front end and Id rather spend a little more money to get better parts, not that Im rich but my friend hit a curb driving my car messing up my front suspention and had to paid for everything. I put steeda x2 ball joints $130- installed myself with a ball joint press I bought from harbor freight tools for $30(upr's ball joints are $100), steeda offset steering rack bushing $30, steeda offset control arm bushings $100- installed myself but it was a pain in the ass! I had too torch out the old ones and beat out the metal part by hand then press the new ones in with the ball joint press but had to rig it up so it would work, shorter end links $20, and new sway bar bushings $20. All the bushings are polyurethane unlike the cobra or any factory a-arms and these will last a lot longer with better handling response since my car in down in the weeds. I still neet to get c/c plates and a bump-steer kit.

This pic was taken right after I finished the install.

Well im thinking of getting the MM bumpsteer kit now for sure, but im worried that I also poked a hole in the balljoint boot and injected with lithium grease. so mabye I should save up and get Cobra A-Arms and the MM Bumpsteer kit. I have 70,000KMS on my car (50k miles?) so mabye I should just get the a-arms now and not have to worry about them down the road.

I have offset rack bushings, I will get new sway-bar bushings as well (if a aftermarket MM swaybar a good purchase?) im also going to get a panhard bar for my rear down the road.
 
For future reference (if not mentioned) you can buy a needle attachment for your grease gun. I have one and it's kind of pain to use, but it's as good as anything i've found when using this method.
 
Well I got the greasing done and its all good.

Now my question is with the tie-rods as is can it damage anything else or cause any problems? I would rather hold off till the next summer after I go travelling and fix it.

I also think @ that time I might as well get the Cobra A-Arms and the bumpsteer kit. Unless the Cobra A-Arms arnt going to be any benifit to me.
