The front slip joint on my ī93 has a grease fitting. The U-joints were
sealed U-joints. I just replaced mine with greasable U-joints. If I
remember correctly, the rear driveshaft had a greasable U-joint in the
rear, and a sealed one up front from the factory. Didnīt make ANY sense to
me. The U-joint that absolutely, positively, under no circumstance can be
allowed to fail is that front rearshaft one. You MUST be able to lube it,
at least on a 4x4, where itīs getting some regular abuse.
