Front driveshaft out of a '95 Ranger. Been planning on using it for my '85 mutant. I got it cleaned up today and noticed the ball socket is drier than a popcorn fart and the boot is cracked. Is there a way to grease these things? It feels smooth and tight but is it long for this world (aka worth having shortened and rebalanced?)
I am very tempted to shelve it and just get a regular shaft with a cross on each end...
Doesn't look like it balanced very well for Ford either:
