Take a look at the steering knuckle in this diagram (sorry, misquoted the part there) .

You see 2 bearings there. The inner one on the early IFS mini trucks had a brass spacer in there that would squeal in the cold. This was replaced by a shorter spacer and needle bearings. Where this is mounted into the knuckle is where I've repacked them. IIRC, if you were to pull the CV axle and the hub, you'd be able to reach in there with your finger, or if the dust cover were removed, you'd have them there to repack.

I've been running Arctic grease in my stuff for quite awhile. If it makes noise now, it's because I'm being stupid and driving out in -60F weather instead of staying home. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" />

BTW, this won't run out in the summer, but then we only get to about +80F up here in the Interior. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
