Stupid Question? How to grease non grease U Joint
Went to Napa and got their best Super Strong Precision U Joint. This goes in my front axle of 98 xj. No Grease fittings. Inside the box it says warranty void if not properly greased. How do you properly grease this U joint before instalation?
|
ive never had a non greaseable one.
Do the caps come off? If they do just shoot some grease in there and get it on all the needles and call it good i would think |
Caps come off. I am thinking fill the holes in the cross up with grease, put some in the cups and call it good? But don't know.
|
If you could drill a hole in the end of one of the caps then tap it the same size as the zirt fitting you just bought when you went back to napa.That would work!
|
If you go that route, keep it clean and make sure the zirt does not close off the port for the grease to lube that cap.
|
Don't mess with them just put them in. I suppose you could remove the caps and grease them but the should come greased from the factory. BTW, I've been running those same u-joints for 2 yrs.. They have held up fine, I even broke a short shaft right at the joint. The u-joint was still good and got transfered to the next shaft without issue. A good solid u-joint for the money.

Thanks. Knew someone had these same u joints. I wil put a little grease in the hole in the cross and put them in. Thanks!!!
