Wait, one joint took a tube and a half of grease? Heck one axle shouldn't have taken that much. You can over grease them and it will lead to shorter life, especially of the boot. I believe each joint is to receive 4oz of grease, about. If you out upwards of 10oz in you must have packed the boot..... -craig On Oct 18, 2013, at 7:43 AM, ralph meyermann <ralphmeyermann@GMAIL.COM> wrote: > With the p.o.
