Propshaft uj and grease nipple balance.

[Brian Walton]

Aware of the problem of propshaft inbalance I have a question. I have just put in two new uj units (front and back of propshaft). Both have provision for a long grease nipple. Should I place the long nipples in the UJ's or leave them out and replace with a plug due to the possiblility of inbalance. I have placed the nipples at opposite positions within their positions to gain the most balance.

The short answer is Don't know,but let us know if it has any effect when you run it....

Thanks for the suggestion John. For the moment I have just increased the thread up the nipple base and reduced its length. That should solve any balance problems.
