    If it’s not sloppy or the blue coating not worn, should be good now. All my Trucks have had a grease fitting. Pumps full of grease to the point it comes out inside the cab.

    Exactly. For some reason Freightliners don’t have a grease fitting on the steering shaft AND you can’t buy just the U-joints and rebuild the shaft, you have to buy the whole steering shaft at $1200.
