Title: Steering UJ joint protection.
Post by: TheTigerUK on November 18, 2022, 15:58
Is it recommended to fit a sleeve or something over the UJ joint packed with grease when renewing it ?

I did see some for sale but can't remember the details.

I wrapped mine with some stout polythene, cable tied top & bottom. 3 cars, not had to touch them since.
