I had a bad u-joint in the front of my truck about a month ago. I believe they were the originals. One of the cups seized up. So, I replaced all the u-joints (2 front and 2 back) with ones that had grease nipples. Just make sure you grease them! I prefer every oil change.

I replaced mine with fittings and now they are so predictable. Grease them and they keep right on going.
Have not had a problem since.

I have a 2000 F-150 and am hearing a rumble at between 442 and 52 mph.
Even though the u-joints seem tight I am going to replace them because
it is something I can do relatively cheaply. Question is what auto
supply store sells u-joints that have grease fittings and are easily
serviceable ?
I really hope the problem is the ujoints or I am up a creek without much
money.

AAP,NAPA,or Carquest are your best auto parts stores to get grease zerk u-joints.
TIP; make sure you install the u-joint to where you have access to the grease zerk!

I know what Carquest is but I dont know what auto parts stores carry their parts ? Who sells AAP parts? I am not familiar with AAP brand.
Thanks

(Some of the aftermarket ujoints (NAPA) you cannot grease without dropping the driveshaft. Unless you have a adaptor that will fit inside the tight yoke."
