Default Front Drive Shaft Question

Ok I went to go grease my front drive shaft today and could only find two grease nipples. One in back, one on the shaft and there's a hole where it looks like a nipple can be screwed in towards the front. I got the drive shaft less than two years ago with a 3 year warranty from online ebay drivelinescource, so far no problems, but I thought I'd grease it up for safety measure. Does anyone know if I can get a nipple to screw in? Is this normal to get a driveshaft without a grease nipple installed? I've included a pic. Any advice would be great!!!!

For about $5 you can get a multi pack of grease zerks from the parts store, they will be various sizes to fit your need.
So this is the first time you have greased this driveshaft?
It MUST be greased at EVERY oil change.

I wouldn't even fool with greasing it now. Rebuild it and then service it properly.
