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.
