    I religiously grease those u-joints at least once a month . Just put my second carrier bearing in and replaced the original u-joints on my 2008 for the first time . Made a big difference. No more shudder . Carrier rubber was shredded .

    My stocks needed done since 2016, and I didn’t do them until 2020

    buy the spicers and be done with it, I keep a grease gun in the garage and grease them up every 3k miles or 6 months, same as oil intervals
