Yes I agree, many people wouldn't think that there is much grease in a u-joint cap but you most people don't take into consideration that grease expands when heated also with age water gets inside the bearing cap and carnage from there. Worst thing is those greasable joints, that grease just flies all over the place. I'm so happy with my new driveshaft, doesn't leak or anything. But I do have an output shaft seal leak but it doesn't splatter anywheres, my seal leaks a little bit and thing is I have replaced it twice, I never used any RTV when I put the seal in but there isn't a reason to. I don't know what I'm going to do about it, probably just cheap aftermarket seal.

That's not really an issue, but its pretty good rustproofing......Some guys with a air greaser get carried away on the U-joints and do pop the seals...I always use a hand greaser....
