When I replaced my broken handbrake cable last year, it was the first time in 10 years, that I had access to the front u/j. So I gave it a squirt of grease. However, it is nestled in a nice clean and dry environment and IMO I don’t see it as an essential maintenance item.
Many rear wheel drive cars in the past 40 or 50 years have been devoid of grease nipples and I suspect that many Morgan owners who religiously use a dealer to perform their maintenance “properly” , are blissfully unaware that this item probably never receives attention, where an access hole is not readily provided.
The rear u/j however is much more exposed and as it is easy to get to, can gratefully receive a squirt at each service. But, if overdone, it can easily blow the seals. Sometimes…less is more!
