    I got a new grease gun a few weeks ago and decided to test it and grease my ujoints that I had replaced ~3 months ago. First greased the front one...started driving....and it squeals. It's done it for a week now. Today I put grease in the rear one, and now they both squeal! What the?!

    Here is the grease I used:

    Any ideas? What's the deal here? It's driving me nuts.

    Did you flush them, or just a couple pumps?
