Slip Yoke Issues

RK01 · 03-10-2009, 09:29 AM

Folks...appears that I may have the infamous slip yoke issue with my 99 F250 Super Duty 2wheel drive. Pretty straight forward fix...BUT what about the grease or lube?? I was just going to use what I had on the shelf which was some standard wheel bearing grease...pull it all apart.. give it a good going over and re-assemble. IS there a special grease to use?? and do I pack the boot as well?? any tips...or extras..please let me know...will attack it this weekend.
Thanks JDB

Generally what ever you grease your chassis with is fine, wheel bearing will work, good luck

You do not want to pack the boot. This is a slip yoke and not a CV joint. Over greasing the joint will only cause the grearse to squeeze out when the shaft compresses.
Use just enough to lube the splines and you should be just fine.
