   I have not seen a driveshaft without a grease fitting.   Might yours have=
 a hole where a fitting was once?
   If there is no fitting, I would pull the shaft apart and liberally smear g=
rease on the splines, external and internal, then reassemble.
  This is a sliding joint, sliding together or apart with every vertical mov=
ement of the rear axle, so lubrication is important.

Yes, it just slides apart, but make alignment marks to get it back =
together the same way it came apart.

  Just replaced the u-joints on my driveshaft and noticed the yoke =
sleeve doesn't have a grease fitting. The example in the Moss catalog =
shows one. Should I grease the sleeve before installing the driveshaft =
and if so how do I do this without a grease fitting?
