Yes, the universal joint must be lubricated. There is a zerk grease fitting on clamshell housing/covers to be used for this purpose. I use John Deere Corn Head Grease to lube the universal in my cars.

PS....welcome to Fordbarn!! You can get lots of good advice from most all members here. Don't hesitate to ask questions. Only dumb questions are those that are not asked
