No, because there's no grease fittings on the joints. They are considered lubed-for-life.... not that designs have improved so much as the fact that it's a cost saving measure for the manufacturer.

is thee not a location where you can insert a nipple ie.knock a plug off ans screw in a nipple.i seem to remember doing this to a car of mine many years ago.i agree 'lube for life' is to the manufacturers and aftermarket makers benefit.

On some cars, yes, there's a plug that you remove and screw in a grease fitting so you can lube. On most cars there's nothing, so you simply can't service it. Some people have even had the idea of drilling and tapping a hole to accept a fitting. This is something I strongly advise against.
