Question Front prop shaft - centering ball kit NG only?

I'm about to tackle the u-joint replacement but I think I have the wrong part. The centering ball kit is supposed to be 7-0081ng, but I bought 7-0081. I think the only difference is that the one I have is greaseable.

Should I swap it for the non-greaseable or can I just use what I have.

Thanks,
John

I just did this last week using the non greasable. from all indications, posts, and instructions that I researched, the NG is the way to go. I would go back and swap out for the correct, recommended part 7-0081NG

here you go

Check with the supplier and let us know what the difference is.

Can you post a picture of the part you currently have? There is no way to grease while installed in the double cardon, that I'm currently aware of. I would be very interested in any possible difference.
