I dropped the shaft to swap Diff and noticed only the joints at ends of shaft are tight and very "notchy". I can feel it moving over every needle roller as if there's no grease in it. My immediate thought is they need replaced. The center joints are fine. This is on a 2013 with ~60k.
I happen to have a spare shaft off a 2015 car with about same miles and it feels exactly the same. So now I'm not sure, maybe this is normal or do the end joints do this after this amount of time and wear (no way to grease them) so they really do need replaced?
