Hey Joe
That sounds exactly like my problem (drive line related). I know about the
one grease nipple on the front driveshaft but am not quite sure about this
CV joint you are referring to. Is it also on the front drive shaft and if
so which "U-joint" is it located in, the one closest to the transfer case,
the one closest to the front differential, or both? I'm just not sure what
I'm looking for here, as to the location of this joint. Your or anybody's
help would be greatly appreciated on this annoying noise. I went out and
bought one of those needle adapters for my grease gun but am unsure as to
where to stick it, :-)
Thanks again
Jay
