That's the exact kit and part I'm referring to. Drill and tap a zerk fitting on the top side of the box(90 degrees from where rectangular slides are) and it'll last a LOT longer. You don't have to take it apart to grease it that way. We pumped ours full of waterproof grease and would give it a shot every month or 2. Dodge should have done that to start with and it would have saved a lot of problems. Can't imagine water wanting to wick down a round shaft sitting right next to the wheel.;) If I were an engineer I'd think I'd suggest maybe mounting it the other way around so you'd take gravity out of the mix but that's just a high school education talking!
