When I pulled my front drive shaft out to pull out my tranny, the u joints were so seize that even hitting them with a hammer they hardly move, so basicly I got it in time or it would have eventually blow the diff bearing or possibly break the cover, I actually have a little bit of play in the pinion bearing but leaving it as is for now,
so I ordered aftermarket greasable u joints for 25$
Make sure to check it regularly or it will cost you possibly a front diff
When I pulled the cap off the u joints, it was full of rust not sure what kind of cheap grease they put in there or if they even put any it was super dry and rusty
