Yup, thats what happens, you will need to either do the trick I did with the gaiter kit or replace the whole swivel.
Go price a swivel and seals once.

 

Im going to look at prices, but i assume its going to be around the same as the kit you showed me. I might try to sand down the rust as much as i can and that may help.

 

Be ready for sticker shock.

 

Mine had grease in them. Level seemed ok but it was black, as in not looking like it had ever been re-greased. Not wanting to take the thing apart, I added some blue grease from a grease gun and sealed it back up. Maybe placebo effect, but the front end seems a bit smoother now.

 

ACK!!!!!!! Now im scared to go look

 

$155 a side aint bad at all. Can always go the used route too.

 

You can repair your swivel ***** also. Swivel Ball Repair
The guy who did the above write-up did it about 15 years ago and they are still working fine.
There are some other write-ups on it floating around.

 

Where the hell are you finding new swivels for $155?
Cheapest I found before I went the gaiter kit route was $250+shipping from the UK.
