Quick question I have new ball joints in my control arms and wanted to see if the grease fittings self-tapping?

Best answer is "sometimes". Many zerks have a taper thread that acts like a self tapping screw. Lots of ball joints are threaded too. I've got some zerks that don't have threads- just rings. drive 'em in.
