U-joint grease fittings..
« on: August 29, 2015, 02:15:00 PM »
I found the grease fitting on my front ujoint, but there aint one in the rear.  Is this how they normally are or did i miss it??

Depends on the ujoints. If they are stock they usually didn't come with greasable fittings and when they get replaced people use greasable versions to allow better up keep.

Any time I replace ujoints they come with the ability to grease except my axle ujoints as some say the greasable fitting creates a hollow area inside and can cause them to fail faster.

That makes sense.  When i put the gun to the front fitting, about 7 shots went in before i heard it start to squish.  It was pretty dry.  Thanks.
