The Set-up:
So i've been away at work for the past few months. My Old man was be̶a̶t̶i̶n̶g̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶s̶h̶i̶t̶ ̶o̶u̶t̶ "Taking care" of my truck while I was away.
Well the truck now needs a major front end overhaul. Ive already done the 98-99 HD steering upgrade and 2 new wheel bearings. I still have to replace the front axle U-Joints.
My questions:
What are the best U-joints for the front Axle?
Grease-able Options?
It looks like there is the remnants of some type of seal on the outside of the front shafts just before they enter the tube. WTH are they? I cannot for the life of me find them on a diagram or a part number for replacement.
(ill post a pic tomorrow if needed)
