Chipper. I have seen you say don't use grease. I know the lube is supposed to be oil. I just wondered why you don't like grease. Have people had problems with grease? Thanks, Gene

The problem with grease is it will not flow into the trunnions of the U-joint. When not lubricated the U-joint will self destruct much quicker than if there is lube to make it slippery instead of metal to metal.

How Sweet the roar of a Chevy four!
