Lube your shaft

[redneckj]

I'm sure it's been covered a million times already, but.

I took my 2010 apart today. Bought it brand new in August 2012. 17,330 miles on it now. This is what the drive shaft looked like when I took it apart. Bone dry. Lubed it up with Amsoil Synthetic Polymeric Grease. I'm good to go now. If you have never serviced your drive shaft I suggest that you do.
