Greasing the drive shaft and ujoints
« on: June 10, 2009, 09:51:03 PM »
Is it recommended to grease the u joints in my front axle and driveshaft?  My front tires skip a bit and skid in the mall parking lots when I have to turn tight.  I heard that its a good thing to do after wheeling anyways?

Definitely a good idea to keep things greased, don't over-do it though. Ujoints, driveshafts, ball joints, tie rod ends etc.
