Greasable U-Joints

RE: Greasable U-Joints
Don't forget to get the centering pivot bearing & ball that's in the middle of the double cardon joint (in between two of the u-joints at one end of the front driveshaft). It's about 26 dollars. The old one is pressed in (a bit of a pain to remove), once out, press in the new one.
Edit: Adding some info from a previous post I made, and more.
The "ball kit" part # is either
Neapco 7-0081NG
or
Precision 617
Either brand works.
For U-joints:
Note: the Neapco U-Joint is nice (part # 1-0005), it has the grease zerk nipple in the end cap, making for easy greasing. The Precision 344 u-joints do not have the endcap zerk fitting, but is in the base of the joint (less friendly to grease). If your parts supplier looks up the u-joint by vehicle make and can't find a LR Disco, get a u-joint for a 1993 Volvo 240 (same joint size).
If you do this yourself, be extra careful not to dislodge any of the needle bearings in any of the afore mentioned parts.
