Not to my knowledge.

I would, if any water got up under the boot, a good shot of grease will push the water out and keep any new water from entering. Same thing with the U-Joints that have fittings. Don't grease them twice and soon they will be making noise. After an off road trip, and in any water deeper then the bottom of the axles, I would grease all fittings and bearings as soon as possible.

I do not want to offend anyone as this is a great write up but I have to include some things. The automatic transmission fluid has to be checked with the engine running. I would push that step to after the oil is checked with the engine running and make sure to check that the oil filter gasket came off with the old filter. This will make a mess also!! Otherwise thanks for a great photo step by step tutorial. Good work ZonaJeep

Yeah, I can attest to this making a mess. It happened to me at my first change. D'oh

Nice right up. Quick question, does anyone do a 5 tire rotation?

Isn't that what it is about. To help someone when something is missed or incorrect. That way everyone will know the correct way to do things if a mistake was made. Thats how you learn things. If you like to do things wrong, be my quest and continue to do so.

I didn't think JK is needed to be greased because the joints are sealed. I thought they are not greaseable type.

Yep, joints are sealed. No grease needed.
