Whilst waiting for a replacement UJ for my propshaft, I thought that I
would grease around all the points on the Propshafts to help prevent
any further problems.
Since few other cars still use grease points, I guess they often get
overlooked - all my UJs needed grease and the rear one that seems to be
making the noise appeared to have more water in it than grease.
Even if you get your LC dealer serviced it is well worth investing the
?15 for a grease gun and some grease to regularly grease the UJs.
The only word of warning, try to avoid overgreasing the grease points
on the actual propshaft where the two halves join - if done regularly
it should only need a couple of pumps, too much grease has been known
to cause vibration in the propshaft putting unnecessary stress on the
bearings in the transfer case and diffs.
