    The greasing of Joints went away for lots of things. I had a couple of Drivelines built somewhere around 10 years ago and the Owner said unless you're planning on driving underwater repeatedly, the Lifetime Lubed U Joints are the way to go.
    The same thing with Electric Motors. Sealed Bearings on industrial motors is pretty typical.
