2004 Driveshaft just rebuilt - question on NG centering ball
Thanks to this forum and Disco Mike's warnings about front driveshaft failure, I had mine rebuilt last week by Boulder Driveline here in Colorado. Nice guys, $308 out the door including R&R labor because I didn't have the time to pull the shaft myself and drop it off. Dropped it off the evening I called and picked it up the next afternoon- FAST service.
I have a question though. The technician said he replaced the u-joints with the greasable kind but that the centering ball is non-greasable and that he doesn't know of any that are greasable. In reading the pdf file on the topic here on the forums, it clearly specifices a non-greasable centering ball as well, but greasable u-joints. Is that correct? Can the centering ball fail and take out the shaft or should I not worry about it?
Thanks for the guidance.
Cheers,
Dave
