Greasable U-joint question September 15, 2005, 06:21:55 PM Being that my U-joints sound like they're shot, I bought some new greasable U-joints for the car. I noticed that they already have grease in them, and I don't know if it's the same type as what's in my grease gun. Considering this, should I take one of the caps off the new u-joints and hook up my grease gun, and force out all the old grease before I install them? Quote Selected

Re: Greasable U-joint question Reply #3 – September 15, 2005, 09:38:51 PM Well I was asking more in terms of the fact that I know that mixing different types of grease is a no-no...and I don't know what kind of grease is in the u-joints right now. Quote Selected
