thats just about how long my greasable joints are lasting is about 6 months.... havent had one change itself yet!!!! but im ill give the non greasable a shot. how often do you have to take them apart and grease them?????

Non greased ujoints aren't meant to be greased. They are self contained with grease that is supposed to last for "a long time" I don't mean that as its a lie but just how I've seen them advertised

thanks wyodiesel92 the only reason i asked is becuase a guy i work with runs spicer non greasable joints in his drag car and he says that he pulls them apart and re-greases them like once a season.. so i wasnt sure wether or not that was a standard procedure or not. thanks for the info
