One very nice thing about the TW shafts is that everything is greasable, at least that is what I've read.  On mine, neither the CV nor the splines have any grease fittings. Actually not even the u-joints.

they might be the flush or small form factor ones (located on the cross and not on the cup, that's how mine are) - the ones on the cup are def easier to grease though. you can swap the u-joints with greasable ones if yours are not but if you take the cv apart make sure you put it together the same way.

Jeffy, how much was it in the end shipped?

Yeah all the zerk fitting are on the ends of the U-joint as well so they're easy to get to.  They supply a thingy that allows you to grease the CV.  I'm not sure how your'e supposed to grease the splines.  I'm guessing though the end of the shaft.  There are instructions which I haven't gone though yet.

I remember when Tom used to wotk at Six States and he was why they got a lot of business back in the day.

Well, I took it on the highway and it's so much quieter.  No more having to feather the throttle to get it to stay quiet.  I'm guessing the slip yoke had a bit of play so when there was no pressure it would wobble.

If SYE's where this cheap years ago I would have done it sooner.

it has a hole at the diff end and probably one in the rubber boot, mine had a zerk fitting before the u-joint but i think you can just use the needle they gave you to put grease thru the hole

I got mine locally and everything is greasable as well...only problem is that I have to remove it on the transfer case side to get to the recessed zerk due to the tummy tuck.

if I had a place locally I probably would have gone there but Tom's been around for a long time.  They have free 48 state shipping and a good reputation.  The nearest place for me is about an hour drive and I don't really own another car...  Saved me gas money and the hassle so I'm happy.
