Many after market u-joints are pre lubricated and sealed for the life of the
joint (whatever that may be...) Some of these will have a vestigial boss
where the grease zerk would have been and others will have a small plug
which can be removed and replaced with a zerk. If it is a sealed type joint
you probably don't need to worry about it unless you racking up some really
serious miles on your Healey. Michael Oritt is in a class of his own on
this question.
