While it was warm and nice for the first time in a long time I mowed for a bit then dug into the '90's U joints... Took out the dry standard duty Spicer joints that I put in in like '10 or '11, apparently the factory grease just wasn't good enough
. One had spun the cap annoyingly but I had put full circlips on the outer joints (apparently just clearanced the inner joints so the partial clips could spin? whatever, that joint was dry too but no spun caps) so I took a shortcut and used red loctite, if I get a wild hare tomorrow I'll tack weld that cap to the shaft... I spent some time on the center slip spline, it was awful rusty for some reason, was pretty stuck in place when I separated it, gonna have to find a small wire brush to get in there then put some marine grease in there before reassembly...
Tomorrow I'll hopefully get the passenger side shaft back together with the wheel bearings and everything then I'll tweak the alignment back to where it should be and will likely weld something in place to hopefully keep the passenger alignment bushing from turning...
