    Well, since I'm in the mood to "fix" things that really don't need to be fixed on the Jeep, I'm thinking about the knuckles. (I was changing the oil this weekend and as I was laying on the ground looking around at stuff under the jeep, I starting thinking about other pieces I could rebuild) Now, I really don't know anything about the knuckles, as mine don't leak. I don't know if that is because they are in good shape or there is no grease/oil in the them. Now, to fill them, just unscrew the drain plug looking thing (looks like the same plug that you drain the gear oil out of the T90) and refill until it starts to run out? I hope this doesn't start an issue, but what kind of oil do I put in a knuckles?

    Knuckles, knuckles, knuckles.....
