I bought a used front prop drive shaft. The single u-joint at the front of it, was retrofitted with a grease fitting. The double-cardon joint at the rear of the front prop ds is not fitted with grease fittings.

Should I swap out the double-cardon joints with ones with grease fittings, or am I safe with just the front single u-joint having grease fittings?

Thanks!

New u-joints with fitting is a must

 

No, it came that way from the factory. I have no idea why they didn't make the rest of them greaseable. When new, oem, you have one fitting on one u-joint and on one plug on the slip shaft that you can install another fitting.

 

Since it's already out I'd rebuild it, 3 new u-joints and a centering ball kit.

There, you have it. I'm not gonna tell you any different.

All the best.
