1985 250es -- I can hear the drive shaft at low speed -- sounds like a bus slowing down. No other issues -- is this normal?

Not sure if they have grease fittings if so grease them if not i would change them im sure they are due anyway they're probably cheap
Look on eBay for the driveshaft. You will get a good picture of what it looks like. I don’t think they are serviceable

I have to remove the rubber boot to see the U joint. Thanks for the advice.
