    I think you just got to hope at this point that some grease was in there when it left the factory.

    Let us know how many pumps for each zerk before it purges

    Number #1 cause of u-joint failure is improper lubrication.
    Hard to say if it'll be a problem.
    Everyone's use or misuse is different.
    12K is definitely outside my comfort zone.
    All you can do is keep an eye on them from this point forward. If you start getting vibes, I'd drop the shaft and check u-joints before dicking with operating angles.

    Nevermind I finally got it. All of them took 2-3 pumps except the most rear one took 4. Number 2 already looks rusty :eek:
