I have had a couple lucky 8s over the last 8 years. I would think that if you don't grease them, you will have problems. They do not come greased.

Everyone here has different needs, I will never do some of the wheeling that people here do on the regular. Would like to, but simple do not have access to the land.

I am sure there are better drive shafts, but my utility, time and money, the lucky 8 is fine.

 

I hav used the Tom Woods shaft after getting the squeak/chirp out of the stock shaft. It has worked fine, no troubles. My Disco is my daily driver, 2” lift.
