Ford along with the Asian market has used greaseless joints for years and they rarely wear out. You get the guy that greases until the boots buldge and you go flexing the suspension and they start bursting. Then you get dirt in there and they go to hell. Have you ever seen how little grease is in a non greasable u joint? Enough to coat the rollers and thats about it and they last hundreds of thousands of miles. Wheel bearings with nothing more then a smear of grease last forever it seems.
