Thanks everyone, that explains a lot. I feel like an idiot now. Last week I referred to U-joints as UV Joints (had CV joints on my brain) and now, I am trying to lube rebuilt trunions with grease. I will have the Technician working on the U-joints next week oil/grease everything for me. I really had no clue those things took oil, I guess I should have read a little more on them.
I am tackling the rear spring/shocks now (not fun in case you were wondering). The new spring does NOT come with the mount attached, you remove the old one. Get a 400lb friend or 4 long bolts with nuts to compress it for the center loaded clamp housing. Thanks everyone, I appreciate your help and patience.
