OK, T-case is back in!! Now, I'm getting ready to put ALL new u-joints in the driveshafts before re-installing them into the jeep. I remember LOTS of trouble from my earlier experiences in trying to lube up the u-joints in that double cardan joint (I think thats the right name for it)...ANYWAY, does anyone make a u-joint that has the grease zerk in the cap? or does this have to be made from scratch? Your Answers? Thoughts? Opinions either YEA or NAY?

All advice is appreciated!!! :D :D :D

Yeah.
Check with Autozone, NAPA, etc. They all should have a u-joint with a zerk to offer.

Good luck!

I have the joints with the zerks at the elbow of the joint... I have seen the ones you are referring to but dunno who carries them...

Just make sure you grease the centering ball good during the install and be carefull of the spring and neddle bearings in the ball. I have had them come out before when not being carefull.
