Thanks everyone, that explains a lot.
I feel like an idiot now. Last week I referred to
U-joints as UV Joints (had CV joints on my brain) and
now, I am trying to lube rebuilt trunions with grease.
I will have the Technician working on the U-joints
next week oil/grease everything for me. I really had
no clue those things took oil, I guess I should have
read a little more on them.
I am tackling the rear spring/shocks now (not fun in
case you were wondering). The new spring does NOT come
with the mount attached, you remove the old one. Get a
400lb friend or 4 long bolts with nuts to compress it
for the center loaded clamp housing.
Thanks everyone, I appreciate your help and patience.
