Greasing the D1

What all should be greased?  Is there any aftermarket parts that I will have to buy?  Thanks, guys.

just the driveshafts. u-joints and slip joints

Hare -> RE: Greasing the D1 (5/15/2008 8:49:42 PM)

Okay, which of those are 'sealed' from the factory?  I'm guessing I need some new u-joints and I'm betting the drive and slip shafts are on the dryish side.  What type of grease should I use?

llesra -> RE: Greasing the D1 (5/15/2008 9:27:15 PM)

all the u joints are greasable. only the d2s have the sealed u joints. ive used valvoline synthetic grease with good results.

Cool, I searched u-joints and all the threads I could find were on D2s. 

Here's a real noob question, how do I check for "play" in my u-joints and how do I know if my driveshaft rubber coupler had gone bad? 

Also, which greasable u-joint are the best for the price? 

Thanks for the quick responses, Arsell

Have a mechanic show you how to grease it this time so you will know in the future.
