Swingarm / Shaft Service

Picked up a 2004 Nomad with 10k miles this fall. I'm very nervously doing the swingarm service, after reading all of this forum.

This is what I found for grease:

Is this the combination seal and thrust washer?

The u-joint seems to be stiff in one plane. In one, I can just flip it over and the joint flops down. In the other, it takes maybe 4-8 lbs of pressure to move it, as measured by my bathroom scale calibrated thumb! What do you think, should I order the 4-wheeler replacement? Click for video, for what it's worth!
