    Yep, but if the pic is yours, looks to be at the other end of the shaft. There should be 2 of those in the double cardan joint if its been rebuilt

    It is mine, the pic is of the end of the shaft immediately behind the front diff bulb, from memory there is at least one more where the shaft couples with the transfer. So in total, I'm looking for 3 nipples in the front drive shaft?

    looks like it. Would be 2 uj' in the rear joint, each with a grease nipple usually on opposite sides. discolaw

    There's my joint, nipple either side, it would seem the chirping though is coming from the front joint, busted rubber boot. Greased her up anyways & will order a new one tomorrow.

    My g. nipples are both on the same side, less need to reposition things when using the grease gun. If the shaft has been balanced to suit there should be no problems & I have never had any vibration issues.

    Just found this site: it seems that there is a reason for both nipples being on particular sides. Check post #18 here:
