Both front and rear drive shafts now have US mades u-joints with zerk fittings, are newly packed with grease, as is the flex drive. Low speed take-off and driving is noticeably quieter. Will be ready for field servicing after numerous water crossings and desert driving in Nevada this summer.

 

What brand of u-joints did you use and did you also change the centering ball. I am probably going to be doing it sooner than later just to be on the safe side.

 

If you didn't change the center ball, I wouldn't be driving it cause you are about to have a front shaft failure.
