Now if only you'd been lubed from birth you'd be lookin like a spring chicken nowadays Fred.

So what do you think? I don't think they look that bad. In any case its going back together as is with generous honda moly 60.

Differential oil? Isn't the same 4T as the engine?

As much as I got "lubed" at my last job I should look like a teenager

Hell, them should go another 99K. You must have much better throttle control than I

that looks like rust if it is i would clean it up before lubing.
you can move the shaft around and tell if there is any binding on the front ujoint.
i would put it all together and before tightening the axle bolts i would tighten the nuts to the drive shaft tube first.
just looked in manual torque first to 20Nm then to 64Nm.
the manual has a tightening sequence looking at pic should be inside top** out side bottom**inside bottom** outside top.

Thanks Turbo, that makes sense to torque the shaft nuts, in sequence, before torquing the axle. It looks like rust but I think it is just the factory dry lube, but i will clean it up before applying the moly 60.
