LUV my T1N
I just had the good fortune of getting a new 3 piece drive shaft installed under warranty after 61K miles.
The universal joints were diagnosed to be binding.
I have read on the site that some have fitted zirc fittings custom into the drive shaft / u joint area as there are no factory methods available to lube the joints and some have found that there is very little grease even new from the factory, resulting in these early failures of U joints. Seeing as they are not serviceable requiring a complete $1800.00 driveshaft replacement, does it may make sense for me to take my newly installed driveshaft to a driveline shop and have them fit these zirc to make this new one last longer that 60K miles?
Anyone with experience in this preventative maintenance by chance?
