Default Re: Grease nipples.

With respect, the original tapered grease fittings do indeed have a spring-loaded ball check valve and do not leak any more than the more modern Alemite nippled fittings.

Perhaps you are thinking of the pressed-in fittings sometimes encountered in the tie rod ends. Not all of those had/still have check valves.
