Not really swelling up too noticably, moreso then when empty, but fairly firm...i think the amount of lube in there is safe as it is. I definitely will not add more. I'll keep my eye on the boots to make sure grease isn't leaking from the boot edges...right?

thanks for your help man, last year i knew virtually nothing about auto repair beyond changing oil and filters and checking air pressure in tires, so its a learning process, and this website and folks like yourself have been a great help... all my gratitude...

After a while you should see the way "L" "J" & other GM similar cars are setup.  Like they are common to use 7, 10, 13, 15, 18, & torq to hold the car together...  Along with chinsey welds.
