Doing U-joints in the rear driveshaft. Should I get greaseables or non-greaseable?

MOST greasable ones are hollow inside and if you do HEAVY wheeling you can snap them JMO...Tj

non-greaseable "claim" to be stronger, but in your DS you should be fine with greaseable

lol I laughed at your replie. I go with non greasable because they claim to be stronger than having a hole drilled thru the centers. I just throw extra grease in the caps when I replace them every couple years.
