After getting home from Colorado, (4,600 miles/7,400 Km's) I went ahead and did an oil change. While under the car, I was going through my usual routine of lubing the drive shaft yokes and discovered this:



Not a single needle left:

I was lucky it got me home.

I did notice a slight vibration through the seat/shifter. I was going to swap wheels front to back to try and narrow it down.
I think the grease passage way must have been blocked to that cup. I just never noticed the other three cups were hogging all the lube.

After 4600 miles they wouldn't have felt a pin cusion if they had sat on it. I am glad you guys did make it home OK.
Riding home with your car on a rool back will erase a lot of good times.
