Jerry,
I know people have added zerks to various ball joints previously. They drilled through the housing and into the plastic(?) filler. Then they fit a zerk to the hole. It seems to be a fairly straight forward process.
I don’t know if anybody has done a test to see if there’s actually any life span improvement once the zerk has been added.
On edit- I’d add that I would not take the time to try to repair the old ends. There’s to high a chance they’re already compromised.
I’d buy new ends. If those did not have zerks, I’d drill an old one as a test. Then modify the new ones.
