Driveshaft problem?
I was checking my driveshafts and I noticed a ring of grease above my front shaft. Idk how long this has been here as this is the first time I have ever checked my driveshafts. I have a 2dr with OME 616s in the front and 618s in the rear. Does this look like the driveshaft needs to be replaced or just excess grease from when the boot was filled.

for the most part, a 1310 u-joint style shaft with replacement yokes is what i would recommend. up front, that's all you will need but, in the rear, you will need adjustable rear upper control arms so that you can set your pinion angle. i personally like coast shafts which you can get at northridge4x4 as they come with spicer u-joints.

the ratching sound i speak of would be the bearing going bad in an rzeppa joint - what the factory shafts have. i saw your other post and see that you already have u-joint style shafts - this would not apply to you.
