I believe the originals didn't have grease fittings, so like Dave said that one was replaced at some point. What does the front drive shaft have a double cardigan joint in it ?
If the fronts are still good remember the old saying "if it ain't broke, don't f with it" or I guess you could use the other saying "if it ain't broke, fix it 'til it is"
personally I like the first saying....lol

Yeah most of the joints haven't had grease fittings, and I agree that it it ain't broke don't fix it, but I already took it out and halfway apart before I realized that I couldn't finish it, so I'm kinda out of luck lol

[cj45lc]

sounds like you have my luck...lol
does it have a double cardigan on the front drive shaft ?
at least you shouldn't have to worry with u-joints for quite some time

I just saw this thread again, lol, yes it has the funny double cardigan joint. I got it replaced at a shop and I have the phoenix installed and it works great! , I just need a new battery now . any thoughts on replacing the battery? should I do just the bad one, or is it recommended to do both?

Change both, and use Motorcraft battery's.

You'll thank me later.

Do I have to wait? I just am not excited about spending more than $200 at once . They seem to work well for now, so I think that I will wait til I move to texas in a month.
