What is your question?
2016 Mazda 34dr 2.0engine with 60k . Car shakes/vibrates when backing in and I hear a grinding like noise near the drivers tire. I also hear popping when turning the wheel all the way to one side when backing in. And since replacing the bearing hub on passenger side the wheel seems harder/tighter when turning. I thought it was bad coolant? Everyone says no... So Is this the ball joints needing grease? The bearing not being tight? Or transmission oil needed to be changed? Or something else entirely?
What makes this problem better or worse?
Driving faster, backing up, cutting wheel all the way when backing up
How long has your 2016 Mazda 3 had this problem?
The shaking since I top off coolant, the grinding 9 months, tight turning 3 weeks

Hello, to your question in the title - I'm pretty certain that the ball joints are not serviceable for adding grease. I believe they are sealed for "life" of the component. The concern you are sharing does not sound like a ball joint lubrication concern anyway -- it could be steering and suspension noise due to loose or worn out components, or even an axle joint making some noise. I agree that "bad coolant" doesn't figure in here either. What you will need is a good physical inspection of the concern by a qualified, skilled technician at a shop near you. They will easily determine what is going on and give you some answers as to what needs to be done to resolve the concern.
