I just did an oil and lube two weeks ago, but I try again to see if it
helps. Thanks. Any other ideas?

The only one I use is to look for rust stains, usually means dry,
metal to metal, or cracks. God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O http://www.billhughes.com/ Steve wrote: > > I just did an oil and lube two weeks ago, but I try again to see if it > helps. Thanks. Any other ideas? > > Steve > http://xjeep.dyndns.org |

And remember when your putting in grease into that shaft and a big ass glob falls on your forhead.. it means you put too much in. > Steve wrote: >> I just did an oil and lube two weeks ago, but I try again to see if it >> helps.

Remember, it could have been worst, like your first experience was
using a two thousand pound grease gun and watched the little freeze plug looking dust cover thingie pop out of there.
