Hi,

At approximately 152k when I did the center support and bearing I took out the set screws (for grease fittings) on the u joints and squirted new grease in them. None of my u joints had any play in them.

Besides, you'll have the chance to replace the u joints again when you have to undo the driveshaft to replace the tailshaft bushing and seal somewhere down the road in the next couple thousand miles :)
