Default Jonney joint issue

I have the procomp Stage II lift with fixed arms. all the jonney joints take grease except 1 the grease seems to bypass the joint and just comes out the side like it is full of grease already. all the other joints you can feel the tighten up with new grease except for this one. I have taken it out pulled it apart and greased it manually and I couldnt find a pathway for the grease to get into the cups that house the "ball" the cups seem to tightly fit together with no perferation for grease to get into it.

Do I need new jonney joints? is there suppose to be perferation in the cups so grease can get to the ball?
I took anotherone apart and there were no perferations in it either so I have no clue how it even takes grease to where it is needed.

Where can a guy buy parts to rebuild these joints?

I am pretty sure Pro comp does not use Johny Joints. I may be wrong.

Yeah not sure what it is though. You may want to call pro comp.
