Every year I have to replace my u-joints , they seem to last only 15,000km or so. I have tried genuine, OEM GMB, GKN, etc they all go after a year.
My 80 is lifted 3 - 4", front has caster correction bushes, the rear arms are stock. There is play in both slipjoints.
I grease them with every engine maintenance (7,500km). I greased them a month ago, and today I got vibrations and noticed the 2 at the transfer case are shot, again.
This can't be normal, right?
Before I fit the new cups I pack them with decent grease, and once fitted I grease the joints untill all seals show grease coming out.
Could it be due to my suspension lift, or due to play in the slipjoints?
Any other things to look at ?
