has anyone else had the cap or welch plug on the sierra driveshaft come off.
i had the front one pop off a while back. now the rear one has popped off.
ive used a brass 30mm welch plug and hammered it in.
what grease is used to lubricate the shafts. bearing grease or moly

Molybdenum is great for steel but BAD for rubber or Neoprene/nolathane. Try not to get any in your spring bushes. Use rubber grease.
