There doesn't appear to be any way to lubricate that ball joint, unless you just squirt it with your oil can. Although, I can't understand how it will hold up without lubrication. Normally, one would expect to see ball joints covered by rubber to protect them from debris getting into the joint and causing wear.
I would email the question to Canley Classics.

Here's the URL for a photo. http://www.canleyclassics.com/image.pl?file=../data/uploadedpics/catkit1.jpg Anyway, there doesn't appear to be anyway to lubricate the lower "ball and socket." Metal on metal bearings don't seem right. Is lubrication needed? And if so, how and what do I lubricate it with? Thanks.
