Front axle steering knuckle

[oldmopar]

On my 59 W200 the left front knuckle is dry or close to it, right is a little low.
Trying to figure where the grease went. The left brakes were a mess but the wheel cylinder looks like it was leaking so not sure. If I can believe the po it has about 22,000 miles on it; he had owned it since the early 60's.
Looking at the manual it looks like a easy job to open up the knuckle and take a look, maybe replace the u joints and any seals in there.
Is it as easy as it looks?

Thanks Ed

If you have a service manual, I would say yes. It is not impossible that the truck never had that lubricant checked, as odd as that may seem.
