Reusable U-Joint

[07JKX]

So I found a lot of play in my ujoints on my jeep. I figured I may as well inspect all the components that are most likely to leave me stranded a few miles in the woods. This is what I found:

So I assume I can just slap some bearing grease in the caps and sprinkle all the pin bearings back in the cap and BFH it back on right?

Dang dude the zerk fittings are there for a reason.

Grease, it does the bearing good!
Got Grease?

They'll be fine dude, I would use some fish oil to lube it, just to be environmental about it.

Looks good to go, just slap it back on.

man this is a quality chrysler non-serviceable u-joint! lol

It has been replaced with a servicable ujoint now though. haha

I believe that this worn out joint, along with several other components began their degradation around mile 500..haha

BACON Dude, pack some BACON in the cavity and slap it back in place.

I got sick of replacing the u-joints on my TJ every 5-6000 miles and ended up putting some Dana Spicer heavy duty u-joints on. Got about 13,000 miles on them now and no problems.
