Moog has zerks so this is very easy to do. It is very easy to replace whole joint but I rather not if joint is not loose and smooth. With new boots being sent at no cost, not even shipping, I will spend the money on bushings for sway bar.
I premium Moog upper ball joint for your truck is only $30 on rockauto. If it were me, I'd replace the joint while it's apart, but I see what you're saying about no signs of debris in it.
