How do you grease the ball joints on a 2000 Ford Mustang?
Mrs. Mustang asked:
My car has been making some funny sounds lately. There is a brief moaning or honking noise coming from under the car when I accelerate from a stop. My husband said that the ball joints may need to be greased. If anyone has any other ideas as to what it might be, or knows how to locate and grease these joints on a 2000 Ford Mustang, it would be greatly appreciated.

Could dirty brake fluid cause this? When I took it down to get inspected a week ago they said the brake system should be flushed.
