The last time I did that, the ball-joint failed in 2 months. It completely separated in a parking lot. That was on a Ford Crown Vic though...

If the joint is squeaky, it's sure to have some dusty, rusty powder inside, which when mixed with grease, can turn into a very abrasive paste that will accelerate the wear until failure.

If'n you do it, keep an eye on it real good afterwards for excessive slop.
