[Spridgets] bearing noise

[Guy R Day]

I've got to go with Ed on this one.
There are U-J's with grease nipples set into a corner of the cross shaft and 
those without any at all.  I have never seen an 'over the counter' U-J for a 
LBC with the grease nipple in the endcap.
However, have a look at.....
