Grease able suspension parts have boots that are designed to let the grease
out. The VW joints are closed both on the shaft and at the base of the joint
housing making them almost sealed. The grease should last the expected life
of the joint. Unfortunately many of the joints now available seem to have
addressed this by simply having a short life. I love replacing 20 year and
200,000 mile parts and having the new one fail in a year and 10,000 miles!
