"lucky8 sells one 250 on ebay delivered or 235 on their website delivered"

that is probably the best price you will find for a new shaft

 

The Lucky8 one doesn't have a grease fitting on the centering ball.

Will this be OK?

Thanks

Supposedly it's a bad thing, but I've got over 100k on my original OEM. I'd actually replace it with a new original OEM shaft if I could find one cheap. 100k miles per shaft without ANY maintenance sounds good to me.

 

The centering bearing doesn't actually do much work, all that is done by the UJ's. You could, in theory, fit a zerk (flat type) by drilling and tapping the center bearing cup and fitting a zerk but you would need to drop the propshaft and remove the flange to grease it every 50-100K miles - not worth the trouble and you could damage the UJ or the grease seals whilst doing that.

 

Park it in the garage and admire it. Dont drive it because you will have to start replacing parts. Ha Ha

 

I love your thought process here.
