You are right but I was only commenting on the nice smooth action after I rebuilt it with the ceramic balls. I have heard that the ceramic balls will hold up better. I do not know this for a fact.
As for the grease, I have 2 concerns/questions:
1 - will the grease attract dirt? My thinking is that the dirt will stick to the grease and keep the dirt on the balls/rings.
2 - will the grease effect the action? If the balls are coated with grease will they not slip more?
I'm not second guessing you (I wouldn't dare, you have probably forgotten more about this car than I know) I'm just trying to understand.
Thanks
