    Just got under the truck to lube my drive shaft, I found 3 zerks on the rear shaft but none on the front? I've read about the opposite. Anyone ever see this? 2017 DC Pro.

    I felt all 4 sides, they all had the Spicer logo on them. On the rear, 1/4 had the zerk, the other 3 had the logo.

    The front is not on one of the caps... It is jammed in and really hard to reach in the middle of the u-joint cross
