Front A-Arms making noise! Suggestions?

So.. I have the original Kinetix front A-Arms on my G and have had repeated problems with loud squeaking noise NOT from the bushings but rather the ball joint that sits atop the arm. Because of their design, nothing can shield the ball joint or hold in grease/lube so it dries out whenever I lube it in just a few days and starts squeaking again. The guy at the alignment shop (and Kinetix) suggested jimmy-rigging something to cover it such as a condom or glove finger and zip tie so the lubricant or grease won't escape. Anyone have any OTHER ideas that also have these arms and has issues?

Any help would be appreciated!
