U-Joint Discussion......
I was talking with a buddy of mine the other day. He works on GM's not Rovers. I told him about the common U-joint issue with Disco II's (not sure about the I). He had a different slant on the issue. He mentioned that the front U-joint might not be greaseable for a reason (Go Figure!). His thinking - - - The greaseable joint would heat up and sling grease right out of the joint onto the road or other parts of the undercarriage. The after a short time you wouldn't have any grease at all. The non greaseable u-joint is "sealed" and won't fling grease but rather dry up and eventually need to be re-packed with grease. I imagine this has been discussed before. Now I'm in the position, New non greaseable joint from AB or greasable and grease it every 2 3 thousand miles. Thoughts???
