Hi There
I want to check that the propshafts are properly lubricated on my D3. Has anyone done it before?
Do they have ghries nipples? What type of Ghries do I put in? The diffs and gearboxes are fine, I have checked that.
I want to do this as I have heard of too many D2 propshafts running dry and then breaking off at the universal joint and then ripping through the gearbox and the body.
Can someone please help me in this regard?
Thanks

No grease nipples to lubricate. They dont have universal joints, they are constant velocity (CV) joints (other than the rearmost one of the rear diff) and are filled for life  My D3 Build Thread
