Jimny prop shaft

[comanche 2,935]

Ah,now I know why Suzuki though it best to fit later Jimnys  with a grease nipple on the rear UJ.

Still reckon I could have eked another week out of it though-ahem.

Mine's 2003. I don't know when Suzuki started fitting grease nipples but I've been told the later ones had their bearings crimped into the prop-shaft ;making then harder for the home -mechanic to replace. The early ones like mine are held in with circlips. Still needs a press(or in my case a vice and big hammer;)) to get them out though.

The replacement UJ kit I used came with a grease nipple.

You did well to find a jeep with the bits you needed and to sell the remains for a small profit. Good stuff.
