I like the way you drive.. LOL

A good safety measure would be to have the driveshaft high speed balanced. The factory did not install my rear u-joint perfectly from the factory.

what would be a good brand to go to? It looks like a little bit of grease came out of my caps on my rear u-joint and I have a sketchy clicking noise from the rear. Should I go to the stealership and get ripped off? I don't really want to trust the autozone generic brand.

Well I changed my ujoints to the greasable kind (all I could find). Upon removing the caps on the front u-joint I found no grease. Upon removing the caps on the rear u-joint, rust and dirt came out lol. A chunk was missing from one of the caps. I definitely should have replaced them sooner. I've heard bad things about the greasable ones, but I heard that they go bad only if you use regular grease instead of lithium high pressure grease so that's what I used and will use.
