a) Joints without a zerk and pre-greased and don't require any more than they have when you buy them.
b) WD40 is not a lubricant, it's a penetrant. You should NEVER use WD40 to lubricate something like a bearing or a ujoint.
c) Where in the heck did you spray WD40?!
Skandocious is right. They should be pre grease.
But I will say this to Skandocious. WD-40 isn't a penetrand it is a water displacement.
That is where the name actually came from. Water Displacement, and it took 40 formulas (tries) to get that Formula.
Just saying.
If they don't have a grease zerk the best way to put them in is to pull the caps and put some grease in them, then put the caps back on. WD-40 would eat up any grease that was in them to begin with and eventually wear away, run out, or dry out.
I would pull the u-joints out/apart and put some grease in them.
nailed it. wd-40 and 8 hour drive. probably left all the grease in Ohio
