How Many Greasing points on the P38?

c099895 · May 9, 2010

Hi L.Z's.

I was only able to find 4 x Greasing points in the R.R 4.6HSE 1998. And those was on the prop shaft!.... Any more on the P38 as i need to find them and grease them up?.

Cheers. Paul

There should be 5. One on each of the 3 UJ's and one on the sliding parts of each prop (thats if i'm right in remembering if the rear has a sliding part). After that, you're done.

Darn it only found 4.
3 on the front prop, and 1 sliding on the rear prop at the diff end.
The transfer box end is a donut so none there.
Did I miss one?

Don't get confused just because Spud make 3 + 1 = 5
The rest of us make it 4

Surely one doesn't expect one's butler to drive a manual, does one?

Yup, you're dead right, the 'extra' UJ.

Some Spicer joints have two grease nipples.

And some uj's don't have grease nipples if someone's fitted cheap nasty ones

The sealed for life thing went around manufacturers like a plague a few years ago. Many vehicles were and still possibly are supplied from new with no nipples on the U/Js.
