I think at least one was done, since it had a
different color seal (one was red, one was blue). The
new ones I got are black. I just packed some grease in
there for now, as suggested by Jim, and I'll plan to
take the whole thing apart on both sides over the
winter. Makes good sense to know it's done right. The
driver's side had virtually no grease in there at all.

Will do! From what I could tell, everything looked
round and moved freely, so I think it's probably all
in good shape. I've made a promise to the car to do it
soon. :)
