A spherical automotive joint features a housing, and a ball member with a spherically contoured ball head received in the housing and a stud that is attached to and projects from the ball head to a location situated externally of the housing at a spaced distance therefrom. A grease passage enters the stud of the ball member at a location outside the housing, reaches through the stud into the ball member, and exits the ball member at one or more locations inside the housing to enable greasing of the joint via the stud.
