As Tom said CV only. Lets look at way would you pack grease around the drive shaft U joints. No it would just fly off. Same in the front diff the grease will never reach the inside needles. If you don't pack the U joint housing full of grease you also will be able to tell of you are retaining water after fording by removing one of the four bottom bolts on the hub. If you looked at the outside knuckle the bolts holes went all the way through and were taped leting the water drain out.
