the factory stopped using greasable u-joints many year's ago on most model's because they were a little bit more money and most people never kept the vehicle long enough ,they did not know what a grease gun was .plus you cant sell replacement part's if you actually maintain them. when i grease i purge grease them( it hits the ground )
