What are the details on universal joint lubrication and how can wear in needle roller bearings be checked on Ford F-250?

Greasing of the universal joint is vital to driveline efficiency; there should be a recommended schedule of lubrication. The signs of wear in needle roller bearings can be detected by vibration, noise especially during acceleration, and in the extreme cases there may be metallic squeaking, then grating and shrieking as the bearings wear out. In checking for wear of needle bearings when the driveshaft is in place, on attempt to rotate the shaft with one hand while holding the rear axle flange with the other around the front and rear half couplings should be made. Also, in the space between the universal joint and the driveshaft or flange, a loose pry bar may be observed when pried in radial and axial directions, particularly if the car is left in gear. Another test for wear is raising the shaft by having a look at whether or not the yokes of the joints have shifted. In case the checker plate appear to be worn in any way it is recommended that the universal joints should be replaced with new ones.
