Default Greasing the D1

What all should be greased? Is there any aftermarket parts that I will have to buy? Thanks, guys.

Okay, which of those are 'sealed' from the factory? I'm guessing I need some new u-joints and I'm betting the drive and slip shafts are on the dryish side. What type of grease should I use?

all the u joints are greasable. only the d2s have the sealed u joints. ive used valvoline synthetic grease with good results.

Cool, I searched u-joints and allthe threads I could find were on D2s.

Here's a real noob question, how do I check for "play" in my u-joints and how do I know if mydriveshaft rubber coupler had gone bad?

Also, which greasable u-joint are the best for the price?

Thanks for the quick responses, Arsell

Have a mechanic show you how to grease it this time so you will know in the future.
