There are U-J's with grease nipples set into a corner of the cross shaft and

the lubrication goes through the endcaps on that.If it is a freshly replaced
U-J that is vibrating it may suggest one of theneedle rollers has slipped out
of place and is crushed in the assembly orthe yolk is not centralised.Guy R
