Hello,

I ordered 2 balljoints from ebay for my car.I received the package today.They were in boxes but the platic bags were torn/open in their boxes. And one of the ball joint's rubber was soaked in oil. Is this normal? Is it SAFE to have these put on my car and drive like this? I need your suggestions.

They are covered in oil to prevent rust.
